Ingredients

Scale

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, chia seeds, raisins, and cinnamon until well combined.

2. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter and honey until smooth and creamy.

3. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated and sticky.

4. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form bite-sized balls.

5. Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined plate or tray.

6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

7. Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.


Notes

If your mixture is too sticky to roll, add an extra tablespoon or two of oats.

Make it vegan by swapping honey with maple syrup or agave.

Try adding shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a scoop of protein powder for variety.
