These Nut Butter Bites are my go to when I need a wholesome treat that actually comes together in under an hour. I love how simple they are to make with just one bowl and basic ingredients you probably already have at home. The rolled oats give them a satisfying texture while providing sustained energy thanks to their fiber content, and honestly, the whole batch costs just a few dollars to make. They're naturally sweet from the maple syrup, studded with dark chocolate, and utterly addictive. Perfect for snacking, lunchboxes, or when you want something homemade without any fuss.

Instructions
- 1
Combine the nut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl and stir until everything is well blended and smooth.
Tip: If your nut butter is very thick, gently warm it first to make mixing easier.
- 2
Add the rolled oats and sea salt to the wet mixture and fold together until you have a thick, slightly crumbly texture that holds together when pressed.
- 3
Fold in the chocolate chips carefully, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Tip: Save a few chips to press into the tops of the bites for extra visual appeal.
- 4
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into balls about the size of walnuts and place them on the tray.
Tip: Wet your hands slightly with water to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- 5
Place the tray in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the bites to firm up and set.
- 6
While the bites chill, sift the cocoa powder onto a small plate. Remove the bites from the fridge and roll them in the cocoa powder until lightly coated on all sides.
Tip: Do this step just before serving so the coating stays fresh and doesn't absorb moisture.

Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for up to three weeks.
