Oat Energy Chia Bites

With lots of chocolate chips…

Apparently, I have a chocolate chip problem… so says my partner 😑 Rude.

But whatever. He does too. And so do my kids 😂 So in an effort to reset to basics before the school year starts… we need to solve this now… 10 minutes, 30 bites, and everyone’s happy.

PSA: Make sure to check the mirror after eating these or you’ll be walking around with chia seeds in your teeth all day. Sorry to the clients that caught me on calls right after snacking 🫣

INGREDIENTS

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup crunchy nut butter
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup chia seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine oats, nut butter, chocolate chips, maple syrup, and chia seeds in a large bowl. Stir until evenly mixed and holds together when pressed. If too dry, add a drizzle of syrup.
   

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Divide mixture into 30 portions using a tablespoon and roll into smooth 1-inch balls.
   

3. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge until ready to eat.

Why this works: No bake, freezer-friendly, ready in 10 minutes, minimal ingredients, and honestly… it’s cheaper than buying more bags of $7 chocolate chips to feed the need.

Pro tip: I save all my recipes in ReciMe so my best friend @thefitranchhand 💛 and I can share a joint cookbook. Makes meal planning way less stressful when you’re trying to figure out what to feed 7 kids between us… and you have zero idea what’s for dinner.
