Healthy Kid's snack- Energy bites!

12/3/2015

All moms are thrilled to find a healthy and quick snack, right?  This one was shared with me by a good friend (Thank you Audrey) and it is a go-to at our house asked for by name weekly!  I did forget to get a pic of the peanut butter as that is the other ingredient in this recipe, we like Jiff Natural Peanut butter. 

I love that there is no refined sugar and that the ingredients are all natural, my kiddos love the taste of these little round bites of goodness!​​

These are so simple to make, I often have helpers who are less than 3 feet tall so it has to be simple.
Ingredients:
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup flax meal (I accidentally bought flax seed so I ground mine in the blender when I make these)
2/3 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup cocoa

I start by warming my peanut butter and honey in the microwave to make for easier stirring, then add all ingredients, mix well and form into nickel sized balls.  I store them in the fridge, but they sure don't last long around here!​​​​​​​​

You see, I have a helper!  Here are what they are supposed to look like when you are finished and they go fast!

Those look so easy and sound delicious! It's always a good thing to make something so simple that littles can help. I'm going to save this recipe for the next time my grandchildren are visiting. Thanks!

These sound yum! I think I'd want the oatmeal ground, too. Have you ever tried that? Did it work?

Katharine,
I use quick oats but haven't specifically ground the oats further than that, right now they just fly out of the kitchen so fast it doesn't really matter how I make them!
