Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, creamy peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir for about 2-3 minutes until well incorporated, resembling a thick, sticky dough.
Use a mini ice cream scoop or your hands to portion out bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, rolling each piece gently.
Place the rolled energy bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate, spaced apart. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Transfer chilled energy bites to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or freeze for longer storage.
