No-Bake Oatmeal Bites
Description
No-Bake Oatmeal Bites are formed by combining oats, shredded coconut, hemp seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, and mini chocolate chips into a uniform mixture. Rolled into small balls, these bites do not require baking or cooking, making for a straightforward, mess-free preparation. The combination of ingredients creates a texture that is both chewy from the oats and coconut and creamy from the nut butter.
The bites can be customized by substituting coconut with extra oats or dried fruit, swapping hemp seeds with ground flax or chia seeds, and replacing peanut butter with other nut or seed butters to accommodate allergies or preferences. Flavor variations include adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, or protein powder.
These bites store well in the refrigerator for up to one week and can be frozen for up to three months after initially freezing on a baking sheet, facilitating convenient future snacking. Using a cookie scoop helps ensure evenly sized portions.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- ½ cup hemp seed
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions

Notes
- Replace shredded coconut with extra oats or dried fruit if desired.
- Ground flax seeds or chia seeds are suitable alternatives to hemp seeds.
- Substitute peanut butter with sunflower, almond, or cashew butter to accommodate nut allergies.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with agave syrup plus vanilla extract, or honey if not vegan.
- Mini chocolate chips of various types can be used; larger chips may not hold shape well.
- Try adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, sea salt, red pepper flakes, or protein powder to customize flavor and nutrition.
- Use a cookie or melon scoop for consistent bite sizes.
