Add the quick oats and mini chocolate chips to a medium mixing bowl. Stir briefly to distribute the chips evenly throughout the oats.

Add the peanut butter and honey to the bowl. Stir with a sturdy spoon or spatula until the mixture is thick, sticky, and holds together when pressed. If too dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water or an extra drizzle of honey. If too wet, add a few more oats one tablespoon at a time. If using natural peanut butter, stir it well first and consider adding an extra tablespoon of oats or ground flaxseed to help it bind.

Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, portion out the mixture and roll each portion between your palms into a smooth, firm ball. If the bites are not holding shape, chill the mixture for 10 minutes and try again.

Eat right away or let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes for a firmer texture. Transfer to an airtight container to store.
