Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.25 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and fully mixed.
Add the rolled oats to the mixture and stir until evenly combined.
If using chia seeds and/or mini chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture.
Once the mixture is well combined, use a spoon or your hands to scoop out small portions (about 1–1.5 tablespoons each) and roll them into bite-sized balls.
Place the rolled balls onto a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the snacks for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, the PB Quickie Snacks are ready to serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
