Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder or 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and honey until smooth and combined.
- Add the rolled oats, cocoa powder or chocolate chips, and chia seeds.
- Stir the mixture until a thick, uniform dough forms. If your peanut butter is very runny or oily, place the bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes before rolling. This gives the oats and chia seeds time to absorb the excess oil so the bites hold their shape.
- Scoop the mixture and roll it between your palms into 10 to 12 bite-sized balls.
- Store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator to keep them firm, chewy, and fresh.
Notes
- Chilling the mixture for 10 minutes before rolling makes the dough non-sticky and easy to scoop.
- Whole rolled oats absorb moisture over time, so the bites get chewier and denser each day in the fridge.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to make these vegan-friendly.
- Mini chocolate chips give a sweeter bite while cocoa powder gives a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Store in the fridge for up to 7 days in a sealed container.
