![]() If you’re making these, a cookie scoop and a mini muffin tin come in handy, just saying – it’s much less messier than if you try to to roll them. So, it’s really up to you what you choose! I like the smaller flake quick oats because they stick together a little easier but my colleagues prefer the large flake oats because “they look like cookies” and “you can visibly identify all the ingredients”. ![]() I’ve included both large flake and quick oats in the recipe since I’ve used both. Place pecans on a baking sheet in a single layer. Oven method: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove from heat and allow to cool before adding them to the pumpkin energy bites mixture. You can naturally use any nut butter you choose – I love sunflower butter at the moment. Stovetop method: Add pecans to a pan and place over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 2-5 minutes until almonds are slightly golden brown. Oats (gluten-free oats work well) Crushed graham crackers (can use gluten-free) Chia seeds Salt Peanut butter Honey Vanilla extract Mini chocolate chips. I’ve made these with Endurance Tap but you can make them with plain maple syrup too. Repeat with the remaining oat mixture, making about 16 energy bites. Grab about a heaping tablespoon full of the mixture and press it into a ball with your palms. Cover and chill in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. I’ve made these three weeks in a row and taken them to school and my colleagues devour them! I’m a bit loathe to share the “recipe” since it’s really so easy! Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl. Excellent for breakfast on the go, a pre or post-workout snack or just an afternoon pick me up. Honestly they take 5 minutes! You can prep a large batch of them on the weekend – they keep well in the fridge through the week. Yesterday I taught cooking and baking all day (yep, on a Sunday, check out what I’ve got coming up here) and even though I was dead tired when I got home, I still had enough energy to whip a batch of these together for the week ahead. I’ve discovered no-bake energy bites (I know, I’m late to the party!) and am excited for all the possibilities they offer So many different combinations of ingredients are possible and they are just so easy to whip up. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and roll the dough into balls. Use a spatula to push down the ingredients and pulse again until the ingredients are combined. Add the remaining ingredients except for the chocolate chips and pulse for a few seconds. Stir everything together until it’s fully combined. Place the oats and pitted dates in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. While I love to bake and find baking very relaxing and rewarding, I’m also on a bit of a no-bake snack kick these days. Yep, this recipe comes together in just 4 easy steps and 15 minutes.
