Need a quick energy-boosting snack? These Honey Almond Energy Bites are so easy to make, taste like cookies and best of all, don’t need any baking! If I feel a drop in energy or need a snack to hold me over until dinner, I just grab a couple of these Honey Almond Energy Bites and I’m good to go! They’re also great with a cup of Oregon Chai Tea latte, which is one of the items I received in this month’s Degustabox!
Honey Almond Energy Bites
- 1 Cup Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal
- 1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 Cup Almond Butter
- 1/4 Cup Raw Honey
- 1-2 TBSP White Grape Seed Flour *
- 1/2 TSP Cinnamon
Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, blend the raw honey with the almond butter until smooth. Gently fold the almond butter mixture into the dry ingredients until well blended.
Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 30-60 minute, then enjoy. Store in an airtight container. Since my almond butter needs to be refrigerated, I opt to store my Honey Almond Energy Bites in the refrigerator as well. My kids snacked on them and mentioned that they tasted like granola bars, only better!
- You may wonder why I added the White Grape Seed Flour to my recipe. Of course this is optional, but the reason I chose to include it is because I have seen Grape Seed Flour pop up on recipes here and there. I have heard that grape seed flour is rich in antioxidants and is a good source of healthy fats, magnesium, protein, iron, calcium and fiber. When I got a bag in my Degustabox, I figured it would be a great addition to my recipe!

[…] Making your own can be a fun exercise to do with the kids as well (and maybe tire them out before you get on the road). You can pack them with your kids’ favorite things and they don’t have to be too difficult either. We have a few favorites are blueberry vanilla & greek yogurt as well as double chocolate peanut butter. These recipes are healthy not to mentions delicious & we usually save a few for ourselves! (A similar option could be these Honey Almond Energy Bites) […]
