In The Kitchen: No Bake Oat Bites

Maybe you do not like eating before working out, but you know you need some fuel. Or, maybe you are always running late out the door in the morning and need a quick nibble. Perhaps I am projecting that onto you, because I am GUILTY on both accounts.

That is why I love making these easy, customizable and no bake oat bites. They store in the fridge for easy grab and go! The best part is you can almost always make them from what you have on hand, creating your own taste preference. Lets do this:

• 1/2 Cup Nut Butter

• 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup

• 2 Tbl Melted Coconut Oil

• 1 Cup Quick Oats

• 1 tsp. salt & real vanilla

• 1/2 Cup raisins

  (optional cacao nibs, cinnamon, flax seed)

Mix the wet ingredients together first, then fold in oats and your options to taste. It’s best to add the coconut oil in stages before and after the oats, depending on your nut butter choice you may need more or less oil to bind. Instead of rolling them in balls, I like to make a small flattened disc shape. They store better in the fridge this way and hold more shape and taste. Another great option is to use a nut butter that has chia and flax seeds already in it (hello trader joes). ENJOY! - Bee
