Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 packet flavored instant oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Optional add-ins:
1/4 cup chopped almonds, pecans or peanuts
1/8 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup dried cranberries, cherries, or raisins
Make This Recipe:
1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter for 30 seconds so it is easy to mix.
2. In a large bowl mix all the remaining ingredients including the melted peanut butter together.
3. Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. (To keep the mixture from sticking to your hands, lightly wet you hands with water). Repeat with the remaining mixture making about 16-20 energy balls depending on size.
4. Place the energy balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and put them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Store the peanut butter snack bites in a sealed tupperware container in the fridge. Trust me though, they won't last long!
