Quick no-bake energy bites made from certified gluten-free oats, peanut butter and honey. They are an affordable, portable snack that comes together in minutes.
Ingredients
200g certified gluten-free rolled oats, none
150g smooth peanut butter, none (use a natural peanut butter with no added sugar if possible)
80g clear honey, none (runny honey helps bind the mixture)
25g ground flaxseed, ground (adds fibre and helps bind; can substitute with chia seeds)
1 tsp vanilla extract, none
pinch fine sea salt, none (optional, enhances flavour)
Method
Step 1
Line a baking tray or plate with baking paper and measure out all ingredients.
Step 2
Place the peanut butter and honey in a mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth and combined. Stir in the vanilla and pinch of salt.
Step 3
Add the oats and ground flaxseed to the bowl. Mix well with a spoon until the oats are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed. If too dry, add 1 tsp water or extra honey; if too sticky, add a tablespoon more oats.
Step 4
Using a small scoop or spoon, portion roughly 25g per bite and roll between your palms to form 12 even balls. Press firmly so they hold their shape.
Step 5
Place the formed bites on the lined tray and chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
