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 (about 8.5 oz / 240 g)
- ½ cup rolled oats (about 1.6 oz / 45 g)
- ¼ cup chia seeds or ground flaxseed (about 1.4 oz / 40 g)
- ¼ cup dark chocolate, you can use chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (about 1.4 oz / 40 g)
- 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! 🥰☀️
Peanut butter bites were easy to make and tasty.
Good stuff, thank you
Thanks for the info, love healthy options to snack on, beside chips and candy. Will definitely make some.
We use Agave syrup. Good substitute. 1 of these definitely curbs your appetite and provides energy- especially before a work-out.
I used honey instead of Maple syrup and it was tasty.
I can’t wait to make the Peanut Butter Bites. Sound delicious
I can’t wait to try it
Great recipes to try
We tried this last night, they’re really good! It’s a healthy snack
Can’t wait to try this! I will use natural peanut butter and gluten free oats hoping that will work!
Recipe looks easy to follow
I have read that chia seeds can be constipating if not soaked in water prior to ingestion. Won’t they absorb any liquid in the recipe?
Sounds YUMMY!
Can’t wait to try these!!
can you use natural peanut butter or will that make it too soft?
Bravo Julie !!!! What I do is.
Peanut butter, honey, sesame seeds, coco,cinnamon, flux seeds, oats and almond flower. BABEEEEE !!!!!!!!!
Mind if I ask, how much almond flour did you use?
I love anything with peanut butter. Very tasty
Fantastic !
I’m most definitely gonna have to try this one 👍
Can these be made with almond butter. If the chia seeds or flax seeds are omitted (I have IBS) how does this affect the recipe?
How about Honey instead of maple syrup in the Peanut butter bites? Looks Yummy🤗
I Love my Yuka🥕 app too😍
Yuka app does not work on Whole Food cheeses.
And perhaps more items.
Great recipe! THANK YOU!
I would like to know the calories of these snacks. I am betting they are high in calories. I only gave the recipe 3 stars since it doesn’t specify the calories.
you can load the recipe in a calorie calculator for that information. Cronometer does a good job, and is a really helpful free app for tracking food and exercise.
Thanks for sharing .
This is a great recipe and very easy and healthy! Thank you so much.
This is good stuff!those snacks are perfect right before Thanksgiving meal.
Has anyone checked n the packaging on chocolate chips lately? I have been reading the chocolate is gmo & not actual chocolate.. Its a chocolate cell & the chocolate is made in a petri dish out of engineered products….. Ewww!
I buy a 85% cocoa bar at Trader Joe’s and chop it up instead of using chocolate chips that are fake

A real treat! Thank you!
Love the peanut butter bites!
I LOVE getting these quick, simple, healthy recipes. I’m trying to be more health conscious and your recipes are very helpful! Thank you.
A nutritional profile on all recipes would be much appreciated
Thank you for your recipes. I always shopped following your App.
I make a similar recipe using raw honey and then I add dried raisins, cranberries, cherries. Also sprinkle in pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. I try to make it all organic. I can barely keep them in the house when I make them, my daughters love them.
That sounds yummy! I’m not a chocolate fan. Do you also use the oats in your version?
What could I substitute for the oats?
Maybe Quinoa flakes? I plan to try it.
Maybe buckwheat?
Thank you. I am a Pre diabetic, working hard at not having to take meds for the situation. I go grocery shopping and always use my Yuca app. Thank you and keep the recipies coming.
Thanks for the recipes! My mom has a similar peanut butter ball recipe using honey in place of maple syrup.
Thank you for reaching out in an email and sending your recipes. I will be making all of them! 😋
Thank you for the recipes, I’ll make them all!. Question: Chia seeds should not be soaked?
Chia seeds are super versatile… you can eat them raw, soaked, blended. Pretty much any manner is fine and offers slightly different textures and nutrient bioavailability.
LOVE THE NATURAL HOMEMADE SNACKS! I USE ALL ORGANIC ALSO. THANK YOU!
Really easy and healthy recipes for snacking !!!! Please send in a way that we can send to our printers to keep copies of these recipes. 😊
When in the recipe, I was able to print by clicking on the top right menu in my browser.
Delicious
In the nut butter bites, can you use coconut instead of oats?

I love this idea I can’t wait to try it.
Sounds good and healthy too. . Please send me more healthy recipes

I really appreciate these recipes!
Sounds good, not to many ingredients and in house stuff will try .
I’m a type 2 diabetic do you have any recipes for me?
It was to sticky even after I added more flaxseed
Does it matter if you use quick oats or old-fashioned oats in this recipe?
Either quick oats or old fashion?
Either quick oats or old fashion?
I can’t find the answer you obviously gave
Thanks for the recipes can’t wait to try them this weekend.
I need to know an app to break down carbs for recipes please,not familiar with any
MyFitnessPal
With my ingredients I made 39 balls (approx 10g each) The barcodes off the ingredients packets were scanned with the MyFitnessPal app and the macros per ball were as follows
Calorie’s 53
Carbs 2.9g
Fat 3.9g
Protien 2.1g
I might add some vanilla protein powder next time for a small added boost.
I didn’t add any maple syrup btw.
Thank you for the receipe
It sounds very good. I will try the recipe…and coup use Almond butter too.
Yuck. I loathe all peanut products
Does your comment have a point? Someone has generously posted a recipe, no one needs to know your likes and dislikes.
Thank you, Alison, for saying that. You said it much nicer than I would have.
Use a different nut butter.
Thanks for the ideas. Much appreciated…
Thanks I need simple easy to prepare snacks.
Thank you for sending me the recipes
