10-Minute S’mores Energy Bites (No-Bake Oats, Chocolate & Zero Mess)
Wholesome rolled oats, crushed graham crackers, mini chocolate chips, and marshmallow bits rolled into portable, no-bake energy balls. A convenient, kid-approved snack packed with fiber and healthy fats that takes just 10 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free certified if needed
- 1/2 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter / sunflower seed butter
- 1/3 cup pure honey or pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup mini dehydrated marshmallow bits or finely diced mini marshmallows
- 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed optional
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, graham cracker crumbs, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and pinch of fine sea salt.
- Add the creamy almond butter, honey, and pure vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously with a sturdy wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky, uniform dough forms.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and marshmallow bits until evenly distributed.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes. This firms up the dough and makes it easier to roll without sticking to your hands.
- Use a small 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms into a tight, compact 1-inch ball.
- Transfer the rolled energy bites to a parchment-lined container. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.
