Print Recipe

These no-bake energy bites combine crunchy nuts, chewy dried fruit, and creamy peanut butter for a quick, portable, and wholesome snack perfect for beach days or on-the-go energy boosts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats, finely ground
  • ½ cup (130 g) natural peanut butter, unsweetened and unsalted
  • ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
  • ½ cup (70 g) mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts), chopped
  • ⅓ cup (50 g) dried fruit (raisins, dried cranberries, chopped apricots)
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Grind the oats in a food processor until fine and flour-like, about 1 minute. If no processor, skip for chunkier texture.
  2. Chop the mixed nuts by hand or pulse in the processor for about 10 seconds until small pieces form.
  3. In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add ground oats, chopped nuts, dried fruit, chia seeds, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Fold together until evenly mixed and sticky. Add a teaspoon of water or more honey if too dry.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls, about 15-18 bites. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Warm peanut butter slightly if too stiff for easier mixing. Press a couple of bites flat to taste and adjust sweetness or salt before rolling all. For chewier texture, use fresh berries instead of dried fruit and eat immediately. Store refrigerated up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months. Toast nuts lightly for extra flavor if desired.
