These healthy snack bites take less than 10 minutes to make and you probably have all of the ingredients sitting in your pantry. Kids adore them! Great after school or anytime snack with no preservatives or added sugar.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. If the mixture seems to dry, add extra honey or maple syrup (1 Tbsp at a time). If it seems too wet add a bit more oatmeal (1 Tbsp at a time).
Place the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes. This will help the bites stick together when you roll them. Scoop out about 1-tablespoon chunks and roll into the shape of a 1-inch ball. Repeat until batter is gone. You should end up with about 15 snack bites. Keep refrigerated enjoy chilled straight from the fridge!
