These no bake oatmeal raisin energy bites are sure to be your next favourite snack! Made with common pantry ingredients, you'll love just how easy these are to put together!
It's been awhile since I posted a snack recipe. I love a quick and easy dinner as much as the next person but snacks are really where it's at for me. Snacks are one of my biggest hobbies. Eating them, not making them. I, of course, make them too. But the real joy comes from having a fridge full of delicious snacks I can grab whenever hunger strikes. Which, if you're me, is pretty much always. I have to eat every three hours or so to refrain from an extreme case of the hangries.
Energy bites are one of my favourite snacks to make. Mostly because they require zero baking or fussing. Just throw them in a food processor, blitz, roll and done. My apricot coconut energy bites have been a favourite for awhile now. But then last week I decided to try something different and bam - bye apricot coconut, hello oatmeal raisin! Ok I still love the apricot ones, but these no bake oatmeal raisin energy bites are a strong contender for my most loved snack.
Truth be told the hero ingredient in these energy bites is neither oatmeal nor raisin. It's cinnamon. Cinnamon and raisin go so well together, and not just in bagels (my favourite). And in these bites it's a match made in heaven.
But don't just take my word for it. Try them for yourself!

Hi Cassie!
I love having snacks ready every time. I am glad you could stock this up for three months. But with my sweet-toothed boys, I'm not sure if it even lasts a day! 😉 I love Chia seeds!
Thanks, for sharing your recipe 🙂
Cheers,
Jessica

Hi. What can be used instead of almond butter? Can't use nuts or sesame seeds due to allergies
Cassie says
Hey Sandy - try sunflower seed butter if that's safe for your allergies 🙂
