Notes
- If you only have old fashioned oats, you can run them through a food processor to break them down to the size of quick cooking oats.
- If you have someone in your house with a nut allergy, I have had readers have great success using Wow Butter here.
- Agave and maple syrup are also great options here.
- For a healthier option you can replace the chocolate chips with dried fruit like chopped dates, cranberries or raisins. Nuts and seeds are also a great idea. Sunflower seeds are the perfect size for energy bites.
