Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup ground flaxseed (optional for extra nutrition)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and salt until well mixed.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined.

Combine Both Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to combine everything until fully coated. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more peanut butter or honey; if it's too wet, add a few more oats.

Add Chocolate and Nuts: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts or seeds until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Form Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet.

Freeze: Once all the bites are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for about 1-2 hours, or until the bites are solid.

Store and Enjoy: After freezing, transfer the bites to an airtight container or a ziplock bag. Store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a delicious snack anytime!
