Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ½ cup quick oats Can use gluten-free oats if necessary.
  • ¼ cup peanut butter Use creamy or crunchy, preferably natural peanut butter.
  • 2 tablespoons honey Local honey can enhance flavor.
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Dark chocolate chips can be used for a richer flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the oats and chocolate chips.
  2. Add the peanut butter and honey to the oat mixture and stir until well combined.
  3. Once mixed, scoop the mixture into 12 balls and roll them between your hands until smooth.
  4. Store your energy bites in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for a chillier treat.

Notes

Use a small cookie scoop for easy portioning. Mix in your kids’ favorite ingredients—dried fruit, nuts, or seeds. Double the batch for a snack that lasts longer. Experiment with different nut butters for variety. For optimal freshness, keep bites in an airtight container; they last about a week at room temperature and two weeks in the fridge.
