Looking for a simple and scrumptious snack? 🥜 These Peanut Butter Bites are not just delicious, but they’re like tiny energy bombs that’ll keep you going. Perfect for those moments when you need a quick pick-me-up, and way better than reaching for that candy bar. Once you make these, you might find it hard to stop! 😅
IngredientsMakes 10-12 bites
- 1 cup unsalted peanut butter
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup chia seeds or ground flaxseed
- ¼ cup dark chocolate, you can use chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
1
In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter and maple syrup until combined.
2
Add the rolled oats, chia seeds or ground flaxseed, chocolate and salt then mix until everything is evenly incorporated. (see notes)
3
Using clean hands, roll the mixture into small 1 inch balls. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes:
- If the mixture feels too sticky, then you can add a bit more oats, chia seeds or flaxseed until you get the consistency you like.
- Feel free to omit the maple syrup to reduce sugar content.
- Store any extra bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Bon appétit and enjoy! 🥰☀️
I love Recees Peanut butter cups, and this recipe helps me remove them. I mostly eat dark chocolate, and have missed the PB/Chocolate flavor mix. Thank you Yuka!!
I will make them with almond meal , I wish the recipes showed the calories ect…
Caleries??
Almond flour is a better choice then oats for anyone cutting carbs
Thank you so so much
Love this App! changed my life!!
This is great!
Made them exactly as recipe called for. Both myself and husband loved them, the next day I brought a few to my son and granddaughter, they too loved them and asked me for recipe, and to my amazement, he started grabbing ingredients from his pantry and made a batch right then!
Thanks for sharing recipe with us!
Can you add some protein powder?
looks so yummy and healthy.
These sound amazing! Can you use honey instead of syrup?
I made them with locally sourced honey that I buy. They were delicious 😋
This looks real good 👍 can’t wait try it.
Merci.
Will try these soon
I love those, they’re delicious and easy, healthy
Thanks
Thank you for the recipes, I’m always looking for a healthy snack.
Yum! This reminds me of a recipe I used to make for my children when they were young. Simple, tasty, and wholesome!
Sounds great! Can you use steel cut oats?
Thanks
How much protein in a ball do you think?
Looking forward to trying these!!
Absolutely delicious! Dipped in chocolate and let to harded in the frig and serve as a dessert, they were outstanding!!
These look delicious, but please include nutritional information. Thank you!
Thanks for the great recipe! These were quick to make & even quicker to eat. I reduced the “optional” maple syrup to 1 tablespoon (I like sweet & he doesn’t) = a win/win for both us. I will definitely be making them again 🙂
I tried and very good snack 😋 I will continue to make for myself, family and friends 😊
I just had open heart surgery and snacks are hard to come by is this looks really good.

Does anyone have or made these with an oat substitute? Oat sensitivity. Thanks.
I replaced peanut butter (Since peanuts re usually moldy) with almond butter and cashew butter mix , and the sweetnes from the cashew butter replaced the maple syrup (I had to add 1 tbsp only to give it some more moist) they came out super delicious . Thank you !!!

Apparently you are unaware that recent research has shown that peanuts are detrimental to the digestive system. Substitute a treeead nut instead, such as pistachios or walnuts.instead.
I’m not a believer. My father in law lived with us for the last 5 years of his life. He was 86 when he died and he ate only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch and dinner since he was in the Army in WWIi.,till he died. Rarely ate anything else. No medications and no digestive issues ever recorded.
If you pay attention to everything out there regarding food, unfortunately you’ll be living on water. Just stick to the YUKA app to find healthier alternatives then you bought in the past and pray a lot. That’s my advice because over the years so many foods have been taunted as BAD and then amazingly they’re GOOD for you 🤪
cmon, seriously?
Very good snack after my workout.
Mmmm sounds amazing!
I love this healthy snack Idea. I will be trying it soon.
Super! Thank you!
Thanks copied and I will try this for sure
I love how easy this recipe is to make.
It is delicious and healthy (the perfect combination. Everybody in my family loves it. My grandchildren can’t have enough of it!! What more can you ask for it. Thank you
Good to have a healthy snack 😋

I’ll make these for sure.
What a great, easy, convenient recipe & healthy as well.
Thanks for this!
Gonna try these , thanks
sounds so good. I can’t wait to make them. Thank you
Thank you!
What brand of peanut butter are y’all using?
I really enjoy following these emails. It is all good. I will try to make these. Less maple syrup. Maybe a bit of Stevia?
This looks delicious.
I have to try the peanut butter bites.
Sounds great. I love healthy snacks. Will definitely try it.
Is it possible to have the nutritional content for this recipe? I’m following a very rigid low-carbohydrate diet and am concerned that the maple sugar and chocolate will had too much of an impact on the number of carbs allowed. I love the idea of this recipe. Thank you.
Add ingredient macros separately and
Divide by number of bites
These are great!! I’m 1 month from having finished chemo and these are a great pick me up when I need some quick protein.
Thanks! Great idea! I will try it! More recipes are welcome 🤗
These look delicious, I’m going to try them!
Has anyone made these with protein powder? I’d like to find another way to increase the protein.
Yes. Just changed Consistency a bit. May have to play with it
Thank you, it sounds delicious 😋 I’m going to make these for sure.
Is there any nutrition information- calories, sugar, protein?
Very good 👍🏻
This is a great recipe.
On a whim I bought Kodiak protein ball mix. Scanned 51, no risky additives. Very similar except it takes 1/4 cup honey if made following the instructions.
This I’m sure is cheaper and healthier because you can make it however you want really.
yep…going to try these!
Love these! I cut the maple syrup to one tablespoon. 12 g fat, 11g carbs, 8g protein, 173 calories each by my calculations
Awesome recipe! Thank you, Julie.
Will try, thanks!
Great recipe Thank you for share
Thank you for your recipe ! I have made something similar before … delicious absolutely delicious. Might be high in calories but very good for you to take the edge off if you’re hungry.
I love to have these on hand when I am craving sweets. Better alternative to candy or ice cream
Thank you I’m gonna make some of these today🤗
Peanut butter is my go to so these are gonna be fun to make.
I can calculate about 150 cal per bite. Sound tasty but no binging! I’ll try though
What are the carbs in this?
Buying ingredients today.
Did anyone get a response for nutritional facts on these before I make them??
Excellent
Will try it out I do something similar I use dates nuts and almond butter. I will definitely try it with oats 😋 thank you for the recipe
Those are absolutely positively delicious and I love peanut butter. Thanks for the delicious recipe.
Thanks I will try this for sure.
These sound great, I will be making them.
I am not a big sweet eater but these sound delicious, I will have to try making them, thank you for the recipe
Thank you for this recipe- I be almond butter would would too. I can’t wait to make these!
I agree. It would bet wonderful to have the calorie count and nutrition before making these and eating them.
That looks delicious.
I’ve made quite similar ones (I call them healthy nut balls!) and they ARE delicious! Something I do is salt the balls…it just adds a little extra ooh-aah! You can substitute maple syrup with honey, also, Honey!
I think I would use honey
Are these able to be stored in the freezer?
I keep mine in the freezer.
Thanks may try it.
Wonderful. Will you please post the nutritional content along with the calories for all of your recipes? Many thanks!
Would like to know nutritional info?
So good! Even our 9 and 7 year old Grandchildren love these!
Look really good 😊
How many calories are in each peanut butter snack if you use the maple syrup.
These look delicious, do you have the nutritional information for them that you can share?
What are the macros?
Delicious
Oatmeal is great, but leaving it raw in the peanut butter balls seems unappealing. Yuku must love them otherwise she wouldn’t post them! Have any of your followers actually made them?
Wonder if you could “roast” the oatmeal a little?
I make my own granola. I too don’t like the sound of raw oatmeal, so I might try these made with my granola instead of the raw oats, maple syrup, seeds (my granola has seeds) and salt.
I just made them. They taste great! I did not add the maple syrup.
Love these small bites
Delicious. Love these recipes
definitely going to make these ! Thanks ❤️
It would be great if you could make your recipes printer-friendly. But they are great regardless!
Looks yummy wonder how many WW points?
So excited to try all of them. Look amazing!
Delicious !!!
