Description
Super easy, no-bake chocolate-dipped energy bites. 4 simple ingredients: Oats, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips. No baking required and they are so good! Gluten-free, vegan and kid-friendly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- pinch of salt
- 12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the oats, peanut but maple syrup, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt into a medium-size mixing bowl and stir with a rubber spatula to combine all of the ingredients.
- Using a small ice cream scoop and wet hands, roll the mixture into 12-15 balls. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in the fridge to chill for 25-30 minutes.
- To melt the chocolate, place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate chips are fully melted.
- Place the melted chocolate into a glass or glass measuring cup (makes it easier for dipping). Using your fingers or two spoons, dip each energy bite into the chocolate and place back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until you have dipped all of your energy bites.
- Top each with coarse sea salt.
- Chill the dipped energy bites in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. Serve and ENJOY!!!
Notes
- To reduce the sugar in these energy bites, you can use sugar-free dark chocolate chips.
- Creamy almond butter works in place of the peanut butter.
- Add in extras like raisins, dried cranberries, or even shredded coconut.
- To make them all even in size, use a small ice cream scoop when rolling the mixture into balls.
- You can store these in the freezer or fridge for up to 4 days, if they last that long!
