How to Make Peanut Butter Honey Energy Bites for a Quick Breakfast

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

Begin by gathering your rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and a pinch of salt in a medium mixing bowl. Give them a good stir to combine everything together. The oats will form a wonderful base for our energy bites.

Step 2: Add the Peanut Butter and Honey

Now, it’s time to bring in that creamy peanut butter and the sticky honey. Measure out each and add them into the bowl. Take a moment to appreciate the smell — it’s just heavenly! Using a spatula or a spoon, mix everything until it’s well combined. The mixture should start to come together, forming a thick, sticky dough.

Step 3: Incorporate the Extras

If you’re using chocolate chips or dried fruit, fold them into your mixture gently. You want to make sure they’re evenly distributed but be careful not to overmix; you want those yummy treats to stay intact.

Step 4: Shape the Bites

Now comes one of the fun parts! Take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball between your palms. Place it on a baking sheet or in a container. Repeat this until you’ve shaped the entire mixture. This is a great time to get the kids involved; they’ll love helping create these tasty bites!

Step 5: Chill to Set

Once you’re done shaping the bites, pop the baking sheet or container into the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will help them firm up a bit, making them easier to handle and chew.
