Nutella and Peanut Butter Oatmeal Energy Bites
These oatmeal energy bites are the perfect snack. You can pop one in your mouth for quick energy, or eat them slowly in bites to savor every morsel. They're sweet, but not overpowering. I consider them healthy enough for a snack, but they'd please my dessert tooth as well. And the best part...they only contain 5 ingredients!

Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup Nutella* OR ½ cup Peanut Butter
- 5 pitted medjool dates
- 1 cup oatmeal
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup agave or honey*
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the Nutella (or peanut butter) and pitted dates and process until the dates have broken up into chunks.
- Add in the oatmeal shredded coconut and sweetener and process until everything is combined and sticky. If the mixture forms into a ball that chases itself around the bowl, stop your processor, break the ball up into pieces, and process a bit longer.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
I like to make the Nutella Oatmeal Bites with maple syrup and the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bites with honey.
