Form into 1″ balls & refrigerate until firm.

Hint: Make these gluten free by ensuring your oats are gluten free, and make these vegan by using a vegan sticky sweetener like agave or maple syrup.

Substitutions

  • Honey – instead of honey, use maple syrup or agave syrup for a vegan option
  • Natural peanut butter – instead of peanut butter, use your favourite nut butter

Peanut Butter Energy Bites Variations

  • Add 1-2 Tbsp of cocoa powder to add more chocolate flavour to these energy bites
  • Instead of peanut butter, try almond butter or a mixed nut butter for a different taste
