These chocolate truffle energy bites are rich, cozy, and perfectly sweet without feeling heavy. They’re easy to mix up in one bowl and taste like a little dessert treat you can feel good about. Keep a batch in the fridge for busy mornings or afternoon cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- Spoon in the peanut butter and honey, then add the vanilla extract.
- Mix until a thick, even dough forms and no dry spots remain.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into a smooth ball.
- Repeat with remaining mixture and place bites on a parchment-lined plate.
