Cinnamon Raisin Energy Bites

No bake cookie. Energy bite. Call it what you wanna call it. These ‘bites’ are dang good.

They kinda make you forget that they have NO oil, NO butter, NO anything super bad for ya.

After all, a little sugar never hurt anyone. Hence, energy bite.

Peanut butter, oats, a few raisins and a couple other things is all you will need. You probably even have all of these ingredients in your pantry.

P.s. are you a New Year’s resolution-maker? I totally am not. But these cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth if you’re trying to cut out the naughty desserts.

Did I mention they take less than 30 minutes to pull together!?

Oatmeal, a couple other things, and raisins in a bowl…

mix with a spoon

chill

roll into balls

drizzle with vanilla candiquik

These somewhat resemble frosted doughnut holes – but wayy healthier.

    Do you think these would work with dried cherries instead of raisins?

    I made these tonight. They taste awesome but mine are so squishy. Are they supposed to be squishy or are they supposed to hold their shape like a regular cake ball/pop that is not dipped in candy? The only thing I did different was I milled the oatmeal.
