Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups quick oats
- ¼ cup mini M&M’s
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- â…“ cup honey
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the quick oats, creamy peanut butter, honey, mini M&M’s, mini chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the honey and peanut butter are fully mixed and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the Bites: Using a large spoon or portion scoop, measure out small amounts of the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball about 1 ½ to 2 inches in diameter, ensuring they are compact and hold together well.
- Arrange on Sheet: Place each rolled bite onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them evenly so they do not stick together while chilling.
- Chill: Refrigerate the bites for approximately 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Once chilled, transfer the bites to a sealed container to keep them fresh until ready to eat.
Notes
- Use quick oats for the best texture; old-fashioned oats can be used but will create a chewier bite.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or almond butter, depending on allergies.
- Store bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- If you prefer sweeter bites, increase honey by 1-2 tablespoons.
- Mini M&M’s can be substituted with raisins or dried cranberries for a different flavor profile.
