Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup (110g) honey
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (85g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Combine the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  2. Stir vigorously until the mixture is glossy and completely smooth. Note: This ensures the salt and vanilla are evenly distributed.
  3. Pour in the rolled oats.
  4. Add the mini semi sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet base until no streaks of honey remain.
  6. Mix until the oats are fully saturated and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  7. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time using a small cookie scoop or spoon.
  8. Roll quickly between your palms to form a tight sphere. Note: Don't over work the dough or the heat from your hands will melt the PB.
  9. Place the bites on a parchment lined tray.
  10. Chill the bites in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until they feel firm to the touch.
