Peanut Butter Oat Energy Bites

Dotdash Meredith

Sweet, sticky dates act as the glue for these no-bake energy balls. Perfect for hikes or during sports, this healthy snack travels well. For the best flavor and texture, use Medjool dates — the largest and most luscious date variety. Look for them in the produce department or near other dried fruits.

Prep/Cook Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 12
