Homemade Granola Energy Bites
These homemade energy bites are packed with wholesome ingredients like ripe bananas, peanut butter, and chia seeds to keep you fueled throughout the day. Perfect for a quick snack or a pre-workout boost, they’re full of natural energy and so delicious!
I love that you can see each ingredient in each bite! The bananas naturally sweeten them, but I choose to add a tablespoon of honey or real maple syrup as well.
This recipe makes 12 energy bites. Depending on the size of your bananas, you may need to increase the amount of oats or coconut you include to thicken the mixture enough to form balls. Add more 1/4 cup at a time until you’re satisfied with the consistency.
