Description
Quick and easy no-bake energy bites packed with oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, M&M's, and marshmallows for a delicious and healthy snack.
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups quick oats
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup M&M's
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well-combined.
Step 2: Add the quick oats to the mixture. Stir until the oats are fully incorporated and the dough is thick and slightly sticky.
Step 3: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, M&M's, and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4: Scoop out portions of the dough (about 1-inch in diameter) and roll them into compact balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Refrigerate the energy bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and set properly.
Step 6: Once chilled and firm, enjoy your no-bake monster energy bites immediately. Store any remaining bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, ensure to use certified gluten-free oats. You can substitute creamy peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for different flavors or dietary needs. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
