No Bake Energy Bite Variations

Many variations of no bake energy bites exist. Experiment with the ingredients you have in your pantry and make up your own creation!

Use a different nut butter such as almond butter, walnut butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter, or macadamia butter.

Incorporate some dried cherries or blueberries for some tartness.

Add some chia seeds or hemp seeds to increase protein.

Add ground ceylon cinnamon, ground ginger, cocoa powder, or vanilla extract to add additional flavor.

When creating a new variation of no bake energy bites, three ingredients are required. This includes a main filling such as sprouted rolled oats, a nut butter to bind the ingredients, and a liquid sweetener such as maple syrup or honey to increase sweetness. In addition, add other ingredients you would enjoy for increased flavor.
