The oats provide carbohydrates and fiber. Additionally, peanut butter and pumpkin seeds add protein and healthy fats to help make these bites satisfying. A touch of honey keeps everything sticking together, while shredded coconut and mini chocolate candies add fun.

One of the best things about energy bites is how customizable they are. Try swapping peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter, using mini dark chocolate chips instead of candy pieces, or adding ground flaxseed or chia seeds for an extra boost of fiber and healthy fats. Make in large batches and store in the fridge (or freezer) for grab and go goodness any time.

Whether you’re packing snacks for the kids, fueling a busy day, or simply looking for a healthier way to enjoy those monster-cookie flavors, these little bites are a delicious—and fun—option.
