Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Cups Rolled oats
  • 2 Scoops Whey Protein Powder (Vanilla flavor works great)
  • 1/3 Cup Mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Natural peanut butter
  • ¼ Cup Honey
  • 23 tablespoons Water (optional, to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Place the 2 scoops of whey protein powder, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup natural peanut butter, and ¼ cup honey in a large bowl.
  2. Mix Until Dough Forms: Stir the ingredients together until combined. If the mixture feels dry, gradually add 2-3 tablespoons of water, one teaspoon at a time, stirring until a stiff dough forms.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Mix Thoroughly: Mix again to distribute the chocolate chips uniformly.
  5. Shape Into Bites: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all dough is used.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Serve chilled and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter if preferred.
  • If you want a vegan version, use a plant-based protein powder and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey according to taste.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • These bites can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge before serving.
