Instructions
Preparation Steps
Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
Warm peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl for 20–30 seconds; stir until smooth.
Combine oats, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the warm peanut mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so the oats hydrate and thicken.
Fold in mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts.
Scoop 1 to 1.5 tablespoon portions, squeeze to compact, then roll into balls.
Arrange on the lined sheet and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
Enjoy right away or store chilled for best texture.
Notes
Variation: Swap honey for maple syrup, add 2–3 tbsp dried fruit, or use almond butter. For a firmer bite, toast the oats briefly and add 1 extra tablespoon ground flaxseed. Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months.This recipe is an original creation inspired by classic Peanut Butter Oat Granola Bites Recipe flavors.
