Ingredients
Scale

- 3/4 cup (190g) natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup (113g) honey
- 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (14g) ground flaxseed (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Add the wet ingredients: Pour in peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is thick and sticky. Add a teaspoon of water or extra honey if too dry.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly without smashing.
- Shape the bites: Form the mixture into approximately 1-inch balls (about 20 bites). Dampen hands with water if mixture sticks.
- Chill to set: Place the bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
Use natural peanut butter with minimal oil separation for best texture. Chill mixture before rolling if too sticky. Store refrigerated up to one week or freeze up to three months. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup. Optional ingredients like ground flaxseed add fiber and omega-3s. Rolling hands dampened with water prevents sticking.
