Zinc-Packed Pumpkin Seed Snack Bites

Mix, roll, chill — these no-bake bites come together in one bowl and don't require turning on the oven at all.

Pumpkin seeds are the star ingredient, and they're a plant source of zinc, a mineral often discussed in relation to immune support, which is why these bites carry that tag. Rolled oats and peanut butter hold everything together and add staying power, while the optional dark chocolate chips make them feel more like a treat.

Refrigerate until firm, then keep a batch on hand for a quick, portable snack.

If the mixture feels too dry to roll into balls, a splash of extra honey or peanut butter will bring it back together. These freeze well too, so it's worth making a double batch to keep on hand.
