Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup (243 g) natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) grade A maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups (145 g) rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
- 1/2 cup (80 g) mini dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix: In a medium bowl, combine the natural creamy peanut butter and grade A maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended together.
- Add the dry ingredients: Add the rolled oats and mini dairy-free chocolate chips to the peanut butter mixture. Mix thoroughly until the oats and chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the batter. If the mixture appears too wet, let it sit for 3-5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some moisture and firm up.
- Roll: Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out even amounts of the dough. Roll each portion into a ball by hand. The dough will feel soft initially but will harden once refrigerated.
- Enjoy or store: Eat the energy bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days to keep them fresh and firm.
Notes
- For gluten-free options, ensure the rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey if desired, but this may affect the vegan status.
- If the mixture remains too sticky to handle, chilling the dough for 10-15 minutes before rolling can help.
- These energy bites can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge before eating.
- Feel free to add extras like chia seeds or flax seeds for added nutrition.
