Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats (gluten-free)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth and slightly runny)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup mini M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, salt, smooth peanut butter, pure maple syrup, and mini M&Ms. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly mixed together.
  2. Form cookie bites: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, take 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of the mixture. Press and squeeze it between your palms multiple times to help it stick and mold the mixture into a firm, bite-sized ball.
  3. Prepare cookie sheet: Place each formed ball onto a cookie sheet or tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to prevent sticking.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the cookie bites for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up, which helps maintain their shape.
  5. Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and let the bites come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your healthy monster cookie bites as a convenient snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute smooth peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor or to accommodate allergies.
  • Make sure peanut butter is slightly runny for easy mixing; if too thick, warm slightly to loosen.
  • Refrigerated cookie bites can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • For a vegan version, use vegan mini chocolate candies or omit them altogether.
  • These cookie bites are no-bake, making them a quick and easy treat to prepare without an oven or stove.
