No-bake energy bites for police officers

Even though we meal plan, I feel like we are constantly looking for more quick and easy meals or snacks my husband can eat to sustain his energy. I don’t have a ton of time, so I wanted to whip up something that I knew we could make again and again with a super low time commitment. Bonus points if my kids can eat them, as well!

So I came up with these no-bake energy bites that are thin blue line themed. The possibilities with these are endless and take about 5 minutes to make.

 

Ingredients you need:

–Plain, old fashioned oats– 3 cups

-Mini blue M&M’s (or any color of your choosing)- 1/2 cup

-Peanut butter- 2 cups

-Honey- 1/2 cup

-Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips- 1 cup

 

You could also add:

–Craisins

-Nuts

-Other dried fruit

 

For the exact recipe, scroll down to the bottom of this post.

These no-bake energy bites are super yummy and take no time at all! And only using five ingredients make these inexpensive, as well.

Pour all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well. Yep, it’s that easy!

Look for a consistency you like where the oats aren’t falling apart when mixed into a ball. You can add more peanut butter, if needed.

 

Line baking sheets with parchment paper so the energy balls don’t stick.

Roll the oats mixture into about 1-2 inch balls.

Line them on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Then refrigerate them for 1-2 hours so they harden up a bit.

Then, enjoy!

Seriously, how easy is that??

 

Remember these energy bites are just a base. You can add any ingredients you would like or take out chocolate, etc. Be creative!!

These are great as a quick snack and last for a while!
