Healthy No-Bake Trail Mix Bites: Easy 5-Ingredient Dark Chocolate Snack

  • Author: Harper
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 15-20 servings 1x

Description

These healthy no-bake trail mix bites are a simple, 5-ingredient snack made with oats, peanut butter, honey, almonds, and dark chocolate. They provide a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and crunchy flavors without requiring an oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • ½ cup (120g) Natural Peanut Butter
  • ⅓ cup (100ml) Honey
  • ½ cup (50g) Raw Almonds, chopped
  • ½ cup (85g) Dark Chocolate Chips (at least 60% cocoa)
  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Chop the raw almonds into small, uniform pieces.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. If the peanut butter is cold, microwave it for 15-20 seconds to soften.
  4. Stir the wet ingredients until smooth. Add vanilla extract and sea salt if using.
  5. Add the rolled oats and chopped almonds to the bowl. Mix with a spoon or your hands until every oat is coated.
  6. Stir in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Take a tablespoon-sized amount of mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly with water.
  8. Place the rolled balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Chill in the freezer for 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for 1 hour until firm.
  10. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils. For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and ensure chocolate chips are vegan. If using protein powder, add extra liquid to bind the mixture. Store in the freezer for longer shelf life.
