BANANA OATS ENERGY BITES

My husband and I used to eat energy bars every morning before our workouts. However, these bars were SO expensive and didn’t really taste that great. That’s why I decided to start making my own energy bites.

Made with only 6 ingredients, these super EASY no bake energy bites provide a great source of healthy carbs and protein to give you the energy you need during your workouts; and also work great as a midday snack.

Plus, these No Bake Banana Oat Power Bites totally kick my cookie dough craving…and coming from someone who lives for cookie dough, that’s saying a lot!

  • 2 cups quick oats
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Hi Megan, I found out I have pre- diabetes. Your power bites sound really good only thing I'm allergic to bananas. Can you subsuite for any other fruit ?

I've made these twice now and the batter is too wet to roll into a ball so I just scoop out and refrigerate. I even add more dry ingredients (hemp seeds and more oatmeal) to try to get it more cohesive. My only explanation is that my bananas are bigger. Otherwise, it's delicious.
