Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 1/2 cup peanut butter 🥜

• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup 🍯

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫

• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed (optional)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

Directions

• Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, cocoa powder, mini chocolate chips (if using), flaxseed, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
• Mix Well: Stir the ingredients together until everything is fully combined and forms a sticky dough.
• Form Bites: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls using your hands.
• Chill (Optional): Place the bites on a baking sheet and chill in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes to firm them up (if you prefer a firmer texture).
• Enjoy or Store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

• You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter if you prefer.
• For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey and dairy-free chocolate chips.
