Print Recipe

These no-bake peanut butter energy bites combine oats, honey, and peanut butter for a quick, healthy, and satisfying snack with a soft, chewy texture and natural sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (135 g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (125 g) natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup (113 g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons (14 g) ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (45 g) mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients: rolled oats, natural peanut butter, honey, ground flaxseed, mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ground flaxseed, mini chocolate chips, and sea salt. Stir gently to mix evenly.
  3. Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or wooden spoon until all oats are coated and the mixture holds together well.
  4. Check the consistency: if too dry, add a teaspoon of honey or more peanut butter; if too wet, sprinkle in more oats.
  5. Scoop out roughly 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the mixture and roll into balls with slightly wet hands. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Chill the bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set. Alternatively, freeze for 15 minutes if in a hurry.
  7. Once set, transfer the energy bites to an airtight container. Store refrigerated for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or hydrogenated oils for best flavor and health benefits. Slightly wetting hands helps roll the sticky mixture into balls. Chilling is essential to help the bites hold together. Adjust sweetness and texture by adding more honey, peanut butter, or oats as needed. Ground flaxseed is optional but recommended for binding and nutrition.
