MKE Oatmeal Spheres

12 May, 2026

~24-28 Energy Bites

Ingredients

• 2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp honey
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method

1. Mix everything together in a large bowl until fully combined.
2. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes so the mixture firms up.
3. Lightly butter or oil your hands if sticky.
4. Roll into roughly 1-inch balls.
5. Optional: roll the finished bites in extra oats or mini chocolate chips.

Even Smaller “Single Batch"

If you want something closer to a single container for the fridge, that is to say: "Oh, Shit! I need them for tomorrow!"

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 1/2 cups oats
• 2 tbsp + 1 tsp honey
• 6 tbsp chocolate chips

This should yield roughly 12–14 bites.

Notes

Texture Adjustment

If too dry:

• add a splash more honey
• or a spoonful of peanut butter

If too wet:

• add more oats

Best Type of Peanut Butter

Using natural peanut butter works, but:

• stir it VERY well first
• texture gets softer/oilier

Standard creamy peanut butter honestly behaves better here.

Bonus Points

Easy upgrades:

• chia seeds
• flaxseed
• shredded coconut
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• crushed pretzels
• mini M&Ms
• protein powder
