Peanut Butter Walnut Energy Bites
It’s time for a snack blog!
And for my first snack blog, I just had to share my favorite recipe for Peanut Butter Walnut Energy Bites. They taste like dessert but aren’t overly sweet. They don’t require any cooking, other than microwaving the PB if you want the mixture to be easier to stir. And they provide a hefty dose of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fat.
Oh, and there’s chocolate.
I made the bites a bit bigger this round (16 bites for the recipe), but if you want to make them smaller, you can definitely do so. It just depends on how you like to snack.
I like to throw these in the fridge so they are easier to handle and last longer, and you can also pop them in the freezer to have in a week or two.
They’re convenient, delicious and satisfying! Go ahead, try one or two!
