Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
- ⅔ cup peanut butter (see notes for nut-free option)
- ½ cup natural jelly or fruit spread
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Optional Add-ins (½ cup total)
- Mini chocolate chips
- Chopped nuts or seeds
- Coconut flakes
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, jelly, and chia seeds. Stir until well incorporated and the mixture forms a dough that holds together when pressed between your palms.
- Form the balls: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie dough scoop to scoop the dough into portions. Press the dough firmly into the scoop, then release and place each ball on a baking sheet. Repeat until you have 24 balls.
- Store properly: Transfer the PB&J Bites into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
Notes
- For a nut-free option, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter.
- You can customize the bites by adding mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes.
- Make sure to use natural jelly or fruit spread for a healthier snack option.
