Hey there, foodie friends! ๐
Let me share my absolute favorite afternoon pick-me-up snack thatโs been keeping me sane during those long work hours. Trust me, once you try these No-Bake Peanut Butter Energy Bites, youโll never go back to those boring vending machine snacks again!
You know those moments when the 3 PM slump hits and youโre desperately reaching for anything sugary? Girl, Iโve been there! Thatโs exactly why I created this recipe โ itโs the perfect balance of healthy and indulgent (because letโs be real, we deserve both!).
Hereโs what youโll need:
โข 1 cup old-fashioned oats
โข 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (the good stuff!)
โข 1/3 cup honey
โข 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
โข 2 tablespoons chia seeds
โข 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
โข A pinch of sea salt
Now, letโs get our hands dirty! ๐โโ๏ธ
1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Yes, itโs that simple! Get in there and show that mixture whoโs boss. The consistency should be sticky enough to roll into balls.
1. Pop the bowl into the fridge for about 15 minutes. This is the perfect time to catch up on your favorite TikTok videos or, you know, actually do some work. ๐
1. Once chilled, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1-inch diameter). Pro tip: if the mixture sticks to your hands, slightly wet them with cold water.
1. Store these little gems in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long!).

What I absolutely adore about these bites is how customizable they are. Want to make them extra fancy? Roll them in coconut flakes. Feeling nutty? Add some chopped almonds. The possibilities are endless!
These energy bites have literally saved me from countless hangry moments during work meetings. Plus, theyโre packed with protein and fiber, so youโre actually doing something good for your body while satisfying those sweet cravings. Win-win!
One batch makes about 12-15 bites, but honestly, I always double the recipe because they disappear faster than my motivation on Monday mornings! ๐
Donโt forget to let me know in the comments how these turned out for you! Did you add your own twist? Share your variations โ Iโm always looking for new ideas to spice things up!
