Gluten-Free Power Bites

No-bake power bites are the snack that gets made twice a week once you learn the ratio: oats, nut butter, honey, and add-ins rolled into fridge-ready fuel. Certified gluten-free oats are the one label that matters here — everything else is negotiable.

Yield: 20 bites · Time: 15 min + chill

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (150 g) certified gluten-free rolled oats
• 1/2 cup (130 g) natural peanut or almond butter
• 1/3 cup (110 g) honey
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Stir everything into a sticky, cohesive mass.
2. Chill 20 minutes so the mixture firms.
3. Roll into 1-inch balls with damp hands.
4. Store in the fridge for 2 weeks or freeze for 3 months.

Pro tip: If the mix crumbles, another spoon of honey; if it smears, another handful of oats — the dough tells you.

Gluten-Free Notes

A quick label-reading reminder: scan ingredient lists for wheat, barley, rye, and malt, and look for a gluten-free claim on anything processed. When a label is unclear, the manufacturer’s website usually settles it.
