Instructions

Main

  1. In a bowl, add powdered peanut butter, water, and honey and whisk together. After ingredients form a paste, switch to a spatula and stir vigorously until mixture is 'creamy' and there are no clumps.
  2. Add oats and chocolate chips. Stir well to combine. Oats should be evenly coated with peanut-honey mixture.
  3. Let chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  4. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, take about 1 tablespoon of energy bite mixture and form into balls.

Notes

  • These energy bites are perfect for a quick snack or on-the-go breakfast.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • You can use regular peanut butter instead of powdered for a richer flavor, though the calorie count will increase.
