Serves: 24 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey, stirring until they are completely blended and smooth.
- Add the rolled oats to the peanut butter and honey mixture, mixing thoroughly to ensure all oats are evenly coated.
- Sift the cocoa powder into the mixture, stirring carefully to incorporate it completely without creating lumps.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly, which will make forming the bites easier.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into uniform bite-sized balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- For best texture, chill the bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to set completely.
- Store the chocolate peanut butter bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and easier blending.
- For extra richness, consider using dark chocolate chips or a mix of milk and dark chocolate.
- If the mixture feels too sticky, chill it for an additional 5-10 minutes before rolling.
- For uniform size, use a small cookie scoop or weigh each bite on a kitchen scale.
- Customize by adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top or rolling the bites in crushed nuts for extra texture.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the mixture.
- These bites freeze beautifully - store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months for a make-ahead snack option.
