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:
- Combine the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Stir vigorously until the mixture is glossy and completely smooth. Note: This ensures the salt and vanilla are evenly distributed.
- Pour in the rolled oats.
- Add the mini semi sweet chocolate chips.
- Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet base until no streaks of honey remain.
- Mix until the oats are fully saturated and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time using a small cookie scoop or spoon.
- 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.
- Place the bites on a parchment lined tray.
- Chill the bites in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until they feel firm to the touch.
