Do you get that mid-afternoon lull in energy? I do pretty much every day. It’s like I just hit the wall and need a little boost to make it over! While I sometimes opt for coffee, lately I’ve been grabbing one of these delicious Peanut Butter Energy Bites instead. It’s a bite size boost! Perfectly peanut buttery with chocolate chips to satisfy your sweet cravings and peanut butter protein to get you through the day! These little treats are also perfect for dessert-my boys gobbled them up in minutes!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup peanut butter morsels
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir until combined. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, then roll into balls. Store in refrigerator for up to one week.

If you don’t think you’ll eat them all in a week, they do freeze very well. In fact I will make them and keep them in the freezer, and when I want one I will take it out and it’s soft enough to eat in just a few minutes!
Don’t you love indulgences that don’t ruin your goals? Here are a few other of my favorite “treats” that help me satisfy my sweet tooth guilt-free:

I wanted to pin your article re stainless steel appliances and avoiding fingerprints on them. I don’t know if you are aware that your site is so slow in loading images to pin, that I just decided not to pin at all. Could it be that even when I opened the article on waxing the refrigerator, there were still too many other images to load…I wonder if that is why it was so slow. I’M just saying after I read an article, if I like it, I might pin it. But yours took too long
BTW, it didn’t ever load the photos despite going back to it 2 additional times. In the meantime, I pinned 3 or 4 other peoples’ sites.

I made these today but they didn’t easily roll in to a ball or stay together very well. Could the fact that I used crunchy peanut butter (the only kind I had on hand) be the problem?
