Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bites

Labels: , , , ·
I was supposed to feel the earth between my fingers and the feeling of creating new life as I put in my garden this afternoon, but was unable to do so. This left me a little bummed out and for some reason craving some sort of melted chocolate and peanut butter concoction. I decided to give into my craving and the following VERY yummy, easy and healthy recipe is what I came up with. I am quite happy with the result. Let me know what you think!

The yummy end product! I really like melted chocolate apparently...






The Ingredients. Sorry for the poor picture quality.
Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bites:

 Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 5-8 minutes
Total Time: 10-13 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. Stir together the peanut butter, honey and oats in a medium bowl
  3. Mix in the chocolate chips
  4. Roll the mixture into one inch balls and place them 1 inch apart on a wax paper covered baking sheet
  5. Bake for 5-8 minutes
  6. Enjoy!

The bites prior to baking. I spaced them about 2 inches apart,
but 1 inch is sufficient. They do not spread at all.

These bites taste the best when they are warm and the chocolate is melty. This may just be because I was craving some melted chocolate and peanut butter though. They definitely hit the spot!

    Believe you me, these were a peanut buttery masterpiece. If I had my druthers, I'd replace the honey with brown sugar or something. Or no sugar, there's a good bit of chocolate up in there.
