These no-bake energy bites are quick, healthy snacks that taste like cookie dough but are made with wholesome ingredients. Perfect for on-the-go energy boosts without any baking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (125 g) natural creamy peanut butter (almond or cashew butter can be used)
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) honey (maple syrup as vegan alternative)
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional but recommended)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
  2. Add 1/2 cup (125 g) creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup (85 g) honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry mix. Use a sturdy spatula or spoon to combine thoroughly until thick and sticky.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips to keep them whole and evenly dispersed.
  4. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, scoop about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of mixture and roll it into a ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used, making roughly 18-20 bites.
  5. Refrigerate the tray for at least 30 minutes to allow the bites to set and firm up.
  6. Transfer bites to an airtight container. Ready to grab and go!

Notes

If the mixture is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes before rolling. Use natural peanut butter without added oils or sugars for best texture. Chilling is essential to firm up the bites. Store refrigerated for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months. Variations include using sunflower seed butter for nut allergies, adding protein powder, or mixing in nuts and dried fruits.
