# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

02 - 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, creamy or crunchy

03 - 1/3 cup honey

04 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

05 - Pinch of sea salt

06 - 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

07 - 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, optional

08 - 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, optional

01 - In a large mixing bowl, blend rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt until thoroughly incorporated.

02 - Gently fold in mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and shredded coconut, if desired, until well distributed.

03 - Portion approximately 1 tablespoon of mixture, then roll between your palms to create compact balls.

04 - Position the formed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate, ensuring they do not touch.

05 - Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the bites to set and achieve optimal texture.

06 - Transfer chilled oat bites to an airtight container; refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.

You can mix and roll these in ten minutes flat, and they taste like a treat you’d buy at the best bake shop.
They’re endlessly customizable, making it easy to sneak in extra fiber, protein, or a surprise burst of chocolate.

Rolling with dry hands makes the mixture stick; dampen them slightly and the oats slide right into shape.
I once forgot the pinch of salt and the flavor fell flat—don’t skip it, it really makes all the difference.

03 -

Chilling the mixture for 10 minutes before rolling makes shaping easier—no sticky hands.
Maple syrup works beautifully as a sweetener if you want a softer, earthier flavor.
