Peanut butter, white chocolate chip energy bites packed with oats and wheat germ. Because they taste so amazing, I’m skeptical about calling them a “healthy snack.” So, Hubs and I have been calling them a “healthy dessert.”
You can probably make these during the commercial break of your favorite show, they’re that easy. Mix the ingredients together, refrigerate for an hour, then roll into bite size balls. Because mine were falling apart a bit, I decided to put them in the freezer.
Awesome idea. Because they have the same flair as a frozen Snickers bar. Use whatever chocolate appeals to you – dark, semi-sweet, white chocolate (<these were the only chips in my cupboard).
You’ll love these as an afternoon snack – they’re the perfect 3pm pick-me-up!
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and stir well.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Roll into 1 to 2 inch balls and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
I have a feeling I would quickly scarf down the entire batch if I were to make these!! YUMness! 😀
Thanks, Valerie! Because they’re small, it’s hard not to! I like calling them “healthy desserts”…. takes away the guilt! I bet your kiddies would love ’em too!
Yes, I’m sure they would love them too! Will have to try them soon. xo
Wow…I can see making these at about 1am!
Thanks, Michael! And you could, because they’re so easy! Peanut butter and white chocolate is an amazing combination.
