Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pit the dates if necessary and soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them.
- Drain and pat dry the dates with a paper towel.
- In a food processor, add the softened dates and blend until they form a smooth paste.
- Add the multi-grain oatmeal, chia seeds, and peanut butter to the food processor. Blend until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough-like consistency.
- Remove the mixture from the food processor and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
- Fold in the chocolate candies using a spoon or spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Take a small amount of the mixture (about a tablespoon) and roll it between your palms to form a bite-sized ball.
- Place the energy bite on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up. You should be able to make approximately 15-20 bites depending on the size.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the energy bites to firm up.
- Once the energy bites are firm, transfer them to an airtight container.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months.
- Enjoy your no-bake peanut butter oatmeal energy bites as a quick snack or energy boost!
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes before blending them.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a little bit of water or extra peanut butter to help bind the ingredients together.
- Feel free to substitute chocolate candies with dark chocolate chips for a healthier option.
- Add a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to a week.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious and nutritious snack that is perfect for on-the-go fueling. These no-bake peanut butter oatmeal energy bites are versatile and can be customized to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy these bites anytime you need a quick and healthy energy boost.
