Print Recipe

Quick and healthy no-bake energy bites made with peanut butter, rolled oats, honey, and vanilla extract. Perfect for on-the-go snacks with a chewy, nutty texture and natural sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups (135g) rolled oats (old-fashioned recommended)
  • 1 cup (250g) natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • ⅓ cup (113g) honey (maple syrup as vegan substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups (135g) rolled oats, 1 cup (250g) natural peanut butter, ⅓ cup (113g) honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula for 2-3 minutes until a sticky, uniform dough forms. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water or more honey; if too wet, add more oats.
  3. Check that the dough holds together when pressed but is not overly sticky or crumbly.
  4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon (15g) of dough and roll into balls. Repeat until all mixture is used, yielding about 20-22 bites.
  5. Place bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Store bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Warm peanut butter and honey slightly if too thick for easier mixing. Wet hands slightly when rolling bites to prevent sticking. Chill bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up and improve texture. Store refrigerated for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months. Optional additions include chia seeds, flax seeds, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
