Hey there, foodie friends! 🌟
Let me share my absolute favorite afternoon pick-me-up snack that’s been keeping me sane during those long work hours. Trust me, once you try these No-Bake Peanut Butter Energy Bites, you’ll never go back to those boring vending machine snacks again!
You know those moments when the 3 PM slump hits and you’re desperately reaching for anything sugary? Girl, I’ve been there! That’s exactly why I created this recipe – it’s the perfect balance of healthy and indulgent (because let’s be real, we deserve both!).
Here’s what you’ll need:
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (the good stuff!)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of sea salt
Now, let’s get our hands dirty! 💁♀️
1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Yes, it’s that simple! Get in there and show that mixture who’s 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. 😉
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, they’re packed with protein and fiber, so you’re 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! 😅
