No-Bake Energy Bites
Chewy oat-and-date bites you roll in five minutes — the perfect grab-and-go snack for the week.
Oats, flax, and nut butter make a balanced snack of slow carbs, fiber, and healthy fat — no processed granola bar needed.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir everything together in a bowl until it holds together when pressed.
- If the mixture is too crumbly, add a little more peanut butter or honey; if too sticky, add more oats.
- Chill the mixture 20 minutes to firm up — this makes rolling much easier.
- Roll into 16 bite-sized balls.
- Store in the fridge up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
Tips
- Chilling before rolling is the difference between neat balls and a sticky mess.
- Swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter to make them nut-free for school.
