Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-bake snack combining creamy peanut butter, rolled oats, and mini chocolate chips for a chewy, nostalgic treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural preferred)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)
  • ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup/agave nectar for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts or 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ¼ cup honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup rolled oats and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir gently to combine, folding oats in evenly without making the mixture mushy, about 2 minutes. Add a teaspoon of water or more honey if too dry.
  3. Fold in ½ cup mini chocolate chips, reserving a few to press on top if desired.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop bite-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats will make bites mushy. Stir peanut butter well if oil has separated before measuring. Chill bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. For softer bites, add a splash of milk before chilling. Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan version. Store in airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
