Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites
Made with just 8 ingredients, these Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites are a kid-friendly healthy snack that requires just one bowl and zero baking!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (91 g) old-fashioned oats
- ⅔ cup (43 g) shredded coconut unsweetened
- ½ cup (137 g) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (40 g) flaxseed meal
- ⅓ cup (92 g) vegan chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup (77 ml) maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon (17 g) chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, stir all the ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
- Chill the batter: Cover the mixing bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the mixture is completely chilled (this will allow the mixture to stick together more easily).
- Make the balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place onto a serving dish or storage container.
Notes
- Reduce chill time: To speed up the chilling time, spread the mixture on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 30 minutes or so until the mixture is completely chilled.
- Add a little peanut butter to the batter if more stickiness is needed to hold the balls together.
- Add spices: This recipe will taste great on its own, but if you want a slight variation you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin spice to the batter before forming the energy bites.
- Storage: These can be refrigerated for up to a week, or placed in the freezer for up to 3 months.
