Simple and nutritious no-bake energy bites made with quick oats, creamy peanut butter, honey, and mini chocolate chips.
Ingredients:
– 3 cups quick oats
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– ½ cup honey
– ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, creamy peanut butter, honey, and mini chocolate chips.
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. You can use a wooden spoon or a hand mixer on low speed, increasing as needed.
Once the mixture is well mixed, refrigerate it for about 20 minutes. This step helps firm up the mixture, making it easier to roll into balls.
After chilling, use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion between your hands to form balls approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for a couple of hours if you prefer them cold. These energy balls taste best when chilled.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days.
