This is such an easy recipe for a quick on-the-go snack or an afternoon pick-me-up! This guilt-free treat only has 5 ingredients and is loaded with complex carbohydrates, fibre, protein & essential fatty acids.
There is no “added sugar,” as the only sweetener is all-natural honey and the bites themselves are pretty customizable to meet your nutritional needs. Feel free to omit the chocolate chips to lower the overall sugar content, or add a scoop of protein powder for some extra protein!
These are a great addition to your morning routine, and can even be consumed for a little bit of pre-workout energy.
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself making a batch of these on a weekly basis!
