No Bake Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Quick, easy, delicious. :)



These gluten free and sugar free no bake bites are super quick and very yummy. Keep them in your refrigerator for a quick treat after a workout or when you're scrambling out the door. I'm sure you'd love to munch on them while watching a movie, as well! As you can see, they're the perfect snack for any circumstance and occasion. :) 

They have simple ingredients that you most likely already have in your fridge or pantry. The coconut adds a nice tropical twist as well as gives a great texture, and the peanut butter keeps it all together as well as gives the strongest taste in the treat, and the oats and the chocolate chips add a nice crunch. The honey balances all these ingredients out with a nice hint of sweetness!

  1. These look amazing (and easy)! Perfect for when you need a little bit of a sweet treat that you don't have to feel guilty about! I was wondering if I could use agave instead of honey? I don't really care for the honey flavour. Thanks!

    1. So very sorry for taking so long to reply, Naomi. :) Yes, they are super duper easy! I'm not quite sure. I've never tried agave sugar. I would say that you could definitely try using it in this recipe and see how you like it. Nothing wrong with a bit of experimenting, eh? :) I'd love to hear how it turns out!
      Thank you so much!
