Peanut Butter Oat Bites
Simple snacks are the best! These peanut butter oat bites are a favorite snack of mine to make midday when I need a pick-me-up. They are easy to make and really tasty! I like to add crushed peanuts and mini chocolate chips to mine but you can always add in other things instead such as flax seed or chia seeds if you want a healthier spin or any other small mix-in.
Common Questions About Making Peanut Butter Oat Bites
What are peanut butter oat bites?
Peanut butter oat bites are a simple, no bake snack that is made by combining oats that have been pulsed in a food processor, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, chocolate chips, and peanuts.
How many servings does this recipe make?
This recipe makes about 18 balls but it can easily be doubled if you want more.
How long do these last?
They last up to three days when stored in a refrigerated airtight container.
Ingredient Notes –
- Quick cooking oats are a bit softer than old fashioned oats but either one will work in this recipe.
- All natural peanut butter is wetter than classic peanut butter– and we need the extra moisture in this recipe so the balls aren’t too wet. Just make sure to give it a good stir before you measure.
- Honey adds sweetness and earthy flavor but it also helps hold the balls together.
- Vanilla enhances the flavor of the peanuts and chocolate.
- I’m adding mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts but both of those ingredients are optional– you could swap them for mini m&ms, raisins, anything small enough to fit inside of the ball would work.
