Equipment

Ingredients

1½ cups old-fashioned oats
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
¼ cup mini M&M's
½ cup creamy peanut butter
⅓ cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the oats, M&M's, and chocolate chips. Set aside.
In a small microwaveable bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 10-15 seconds, or until peanut butter melts slightly so that it is easier to stir. Remove from microwave and add in vanilla. Stir thoroughly until mixture is smooth.
Pour peanut butter mixture over oat mixture and stir to combine, ensuring all of the oats are covered. If the mixture seems too wet, add 1 tablespoon (or more) of oats until it comes together.
Place bowl into refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes, so that mixture holds together and is easier to shape into balls.
Form mixture into 1-1½ inch balls (I used a small cookie scoop for even bites). Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
