Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or chunky based on preference)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)

1/4 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Mixing Bowl: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until evenly distributed.

    Add Creamy Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix together until smooth and creamy.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the peanut butter mixture into the oat mixture. Use a spatula to mix until all the dry ingredients are moistened and fully coated.

        Fold in Extras: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and dried fruit of your choice, mixing until well combined throughout the dough.

          Shape the Bites: With clean hands, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

            Chill and Set: Once all the bites are shaped, place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up and set.

              Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, your no-bake peanut butter oat bites are ready to enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
