    This snack is perfect for the combination of sweet and filling. No Bake Oatmeal Energy Bites have only 5 ingredients but are versatile for you to add your family favorites to them. What a great alternative to candy or chips!

    Your Ingredient List:

    • 2 Cups Old Fashioned Oats
    • ¾ Cup Crunchy Peanut Butter
    • ¼ Cup Honey
    • ¼ Cup Slivered Almonds
    • ½ Cup Chocolate Chips
    oatmeal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, almonds and honey.

    It is important to use old fashioned oats instead of quick oats. The energy bites will hold together better.

    The peanut butter can be crunchy or creamy, but the crunchy does add a little more texture to the bites.

    With almonds, peanut butter and oatmeal in them, they are healthy and packed full of energy boosters. The kids enjoy them because they are so flavorful.  I like them because they are a healthier choice for the kids.

    In fact, my husband used these bites for marathon training. I would make up a batch and set them on the mailbox and he would run by and grab them every so many miles.

    Why you will love this recipe

    • Great for a quick snack
    • Easy to make
    • They are so flavorful
    • The ingredients can be changed for your family's tastes

    Mixing the ingredients

    peanut butter, oats and honey.

    To mix the ingredients, mix together the oats, peanut butter and honey and blend well.

    Then mix in the almonds and chocolate chips.

    Rolling out the energy bites

    When rolling the energy bites into balls, they will need to be placed on waxed paper or parchment paper. I like to put the paper on a baking sheet, then put the energy bites on the baking sheet.

    Doing this, it makes it easier to put the whole thing in the refrigerator.

    Alternative ingredients

    Great additions to the bites would be:

    ~Dried craisins

    ~Raisins

    ~Peanuts

    ~Peanut butter chips

    Storage

    It is better to keep these bites in the fridge. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
