Instructions

Add to a large mixing bowl rolled oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, salt and chocolate chips. With a fork or spatula, stir well until the cookie dough gets soft.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
With the help of your hands or a cookie scoop, shape peanut butter oatmeal balls. Place your energy bites in an airtight food container or in a sealable bowl and store in the fridge for a maximum of four days.

Notes

To make high protein peanut butter balls, replace 50 grams (½ cup) of the oats with protein powder. Just keep in mind that, based on the protein powder choice, you may need to adjust your dough with more nut butter (vegan protein and casein) or more rolled oats (whey protein powder).
