Ingredients
  

Energy Bite Base
  • 2 cups rolled oats old-fashioned oats
  • 1 large banana mashed
  • 1 2 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 2 tablespoons honey for sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Mix-Ins
  • 1 4 cup mini chocolate chips optional
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds adds texture
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Measuring Cups
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Cookie Scoop

Method
 

  1. Mash banana in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth with only small lumps remaining.
  2. Stir peanut butter, honey, and vanilla into the banana mixture until creamy and combined.
  3. Add oats, chia seeds, chocolate chips, and cinnamon, mixing until the texture feels thick and scoopable.
  4. Scoop small portions and roll gently into bite-sized balls using clean hands or a cookie scoop.
  5. Chill bites on a tray until firm before serving or storing for later snacking.

Notes

For softer bites, serve directly after mixing. Chill longer for firmer texture with extra chew. Freeze bites on a tray before transferring to containers to prevent sticking. Handle gently once thawed because bananas soften quickly. Customize flavors with coconut, raisins, nuts, or pumpkin spice. Store refrigerated for one week.
