When I first found out I was gluten free a friend recommended these energy bites. They are easy to put together and, more importantly, my kids love them! This is a perfect treat for those days you wish to keep your oven off, or simply need a healthy snack.
One major benefit of these bites is the ability to make them allergen-friendly. If you need to go dairy free, make sure you buy dairy free chocolate chips. If you need to go peanut free, use sunflower, almond or cashew butter (I’ve use almond butter with great results!).
Try adding a ½ teaspoon of cinnamon or a ½ cup of chopped dates.
