What is an energy bite?

Energy bites are another name of nutritionally dense bite of food. In this case these are a 2 biter peanut butter, honey, and oat energy bites. Peanut butter like other nuts are dense with calories, meaning energy for the body. Our bodies form of energy are calories. Energy bites tend to have a dense amount of nutrition (calories, fiber, and vitamins & minerals) in just a few bites. Literally a grab and go kind of snack. These are great to have on hand for a pool day, after or before a sporting event, or if you don’t have time to make something a bit more elaborate.

Ingredients

• 3 cups Quick Cook Oats
• 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter I used Trader Joe's
• 1/3 cup Melted Honey
• 1/3 cup Peanut Butter Pieces I used Little Secrets
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

• 1. In a bowl mix together the quick cook oats, melted warm honey, and cream peanut butter. Using a spatula make sure to mix well and that you get a smooth but sticky consistency. 

  2. Once you have mixed the "batter" together fold in the peanut butter pieces. 

  3. Line a small baking tray with parchment paper and scoop out using a small ice cream scooper even amounts of the energy bites. Roll and shape them gently in your hand. I recommend scooping and pressing down lightly in the scooper to mold the shape and gently shape the edges once you have placed the energy bite on the tray. 

  4. Place the energy bites in the fridge to set for at least 1 hour and then they are ready. 

  Enjoy!

Notes

• Keep the energy bites in the fridge in a ziplock or in a container. They keep for up to 2 months.
