Chocolate Almond Butter Oatmeal Bites
I love having something to satisfy my sweets craving, especially after dinner, and these little Chocolate Almond Butter Oatmeal Bites are perfect…and healthy! Woohoo!
Just one or two completely hit the spot. 🙂 You could even have them as an afternoon snack with an apple or banana.
Plus they are NO BAKE too like the Homemade Lara Bars I make! Easy peasy! Kids would love to be little helpers rolling the balls for you.
You can easily make them with an all-natural peanut butter or sunflower butter too.
Chocolate Almond Butter Oatmeal BitesIngredients
Makes 2 dozen
1 cup of old fashioned oats
2 TBSP of unsweetened cocoa powder
2 TBSP of unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup natural almond butter
1/4 cup honey
How to Make Chocolate Almond Butter Oatmeal Bites
1. Mix the oats, cocoa powder and coconut together in a bowl.
2. Add the almond butter and honey and mix until completely blended. I used my hands and it felt like I was playing with play dough LOL! Kids would love to help with this part!
3. Pick off about a 1 inch piece and roll into little balls.
4. Chill for about 15 minutes and serve. We actually popped a view in our mouths right away and they were great then too!

Nutrition
Try these other great healthy snacks too:
Gwen says
Can you put protein powder in these?
Sherri says
Yes absolutely! Add 1 or 2 scoops. Some protein powders absorb more water than others so if the mixture becomes dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until you can form the balls.

Chocolate Almond Butter Oatmeal Bites so good thank you
Harriet says
These look delicious, I think it might be hard to stop at just having one.
Hannah says
These look absolutely delicious! And I have all the ingredients, so I think I will be making these tonight! I’ve been on an elimination diet, and it is such a struggle finding sweet treats that don’t have refined sugars in! I’m just going to swap the honey with some maple syrup, then I’ll be set to go! Thanks, Hannah
