Make these easy, no-bake peanut butter oatmeal energy bites for a fast, wholesome snack perfect for kids or beating the afternoon slump. They hold up well at room temperature.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, ground flaxseed, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
  2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a uniform, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up slightly. This helps with rolling.
  4. Scoop out the mixture using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon.
  5. Roll the mixture between your palms to form tight, uniform balls (about 1 inch in diameter). These are your high fiber energy snacks.
  6. Place the finished energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Refrigerate the peanut butter oatmeal bites for at least 30 minutes before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, especially in warm weather, chill the mixture longer before rolling.
  • If the mixture seems too dry, add one teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it holds together.
  • These are great for meal prep snacks and keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
