Notes
*NUTRITION IS CALCULATED FOR THE BANANA BREAD BITES ONLY. Please see other posts for the No-Bake Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites and the No-Bake Almond Joy Bites for full nutrition!
HELPFUL TIPS WHEN MAKING THESE BITES:
- Use a cookie scoop to portion control and roll these bites. It's so much easier and less messy than a spoon. Trust me!
- If the mixture appears to be too dry, simply add more honey/maple syrup or nut butter. Sometimes adding 1-2 tablespoons of water helps, too!
- If the mixture appears to be too wet, add 1-2 tablespoons of oatmeal at a time until it thickens up.
- Not a fan of the nut butter listed? Swap it out for the nut butter of your choosing.
- When not indulging it is best to keep these bites stored in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Use parchment paper to divide the bites if stacking in a small container. This will help prevent them from sticking together as they sit.
- The mixture may require some time to chill (thicken up) in the fridge prior to rolling. I recommend 15-20 minutes or so.
