You know those afternoon sweets cravings? And that after dinner need for a little something to snack on? I’ve definitely been there. And all I want to do is reach for a cookie. But we don’t want to eat cookies every day! (Well, we might want to… but we won’t.) Because we have healthy eating goals! So instead, let’s make a batch of these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bites!

You can easily convince yourself that you’re enjoying a decadent bite of cookie dough when you eat one of these energy bites.

So we’re convincing ourselves that we’re eating cookie dough bites when we snack on these. Minus the refined sugars and white flour. With whole grain oats and pure maple syrup instead. And LOADS of rich peanut butter flavor. This healthy eating business is good.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bites

Servings: 15 bites
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
These no bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bites are one of our favorite snacks!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Place oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined, about 10 pulses. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add chocolate chips and pulse a few times to coarsely chop.
  • Taking small spoonfuls of the mixture at a time, use your hands to form it into 1-inch balls. I find that using both the palm of my hand and fingertips to squeeze the mixture together works best to shape the balls.
  • Store in the refrigerator.
