No-Bake Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Bites

Method

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the oats, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and flax seeds. Stir until evenly mixed.

  2. 2

    Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is fully combined and no dry oats remain at the bottom of the bowl.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This step is important, it firms up the mixture so the bites hold their shape when you roll them.

  4. 4

    Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or your hands to roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture sticks to your hands, lightly dampen them before rolling. Place the oatmeal bites on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help them firm up (optional).

  5. 5

    Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Mix-in ideas: dried cranberries, raisins, chopped dried apricots, white chocolate chips, or caramel chips. For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter or tahini. For a vegan version, swap honey for maple syrup at a 1:1 ratio. If the mixture seems too dry to roll after chilling, add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter or honey and stir before shaping. Chill time is not optional: the mixture needs a full hour to firm up enough to roll cleanly.
