Will quick oats work? I usually only keep quick and steel cut on hand.
yes, quick gluten-free oat will work…. I just liked the look of rolled oats 🙂
These are quick and so yummy!
These were super easy to make and super delicious. They are a hit with my whole family. I definitely will be making them again.
Happy you loved them! Thanks for sharing!
These pumpkin energy bites are the absolute best! So many great ingredients and also so easy to make. I found it was the easiest to make them in a mixer, but I was able to make them in about 10 minutes and they were absolutely delicious. They had the perfect balance of pumpkin, spices, and just the right amount of sweetness. Such a great quick and small afternoon snack option or to satisfy my sweet tooth when I am craving something small and sweet! I love eating these energy balls with some plain yogurt and a banana in the morning as well! Thank you so much for the recepie! Looking forward to seeing more energy bite recepies in the future! Would love to see a Christmas energy bite (e.g., gingerbread) recepie!
So happy you love them! I love the flavor and all the goods packed in them too! And we have a Gingerbread Bliss Bite — can’t wait for you to try it!
