Cuisine: Healthy
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut or almond)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut or almond), 1/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.), 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional), and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips (if using), and vanilla extract.
- Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together. If it seems too dry, you can add a little more honey or nut butter to achieve the desired consistency.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. This should yield approximately 12 energy bites.
- Place the rolled energy bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking.
- Once all the mixture is rolled into bites, you can optionally chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up, but this step is not necessary.
- Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage.
- Enjoy your homemade Honey Nut Energy Bites as a healthy snack or a quick energy boost!
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh rolled oats and your favorite nut butter for the best flavor.
- Customize your bites: Experiment with different nuts, add dried fruits, or swap chocolate chips for a personal touch.
- Get the right consistency: If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more honey or nut butter. If too wet, sprinkle in extra oats.
- Use clean, slightly damp hands when rolling to prevent sticking.
- For a firmer texture, chill the bites in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
- Make a big batch and freeze for up to 3 months - perfect for meal prep!
- Roll the bites in shredded coconut, chia seeds, or crushed nuts for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
