Yum!! I’m definitely going to have to take these with me to work while I’m standing at a hostess stand trying to look pretty (but I’m actually in pain from my heels). LOL thanks for sharing Jessica! <3
Beyond excited to see that these are VEGAN! Looking forward to making these in the near future- they look absolutley delicious. I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!
I know everyone loves chocolate chip but I’m all about oatmeal raisin cookie dough and a healthy way to eat it for breakfast… sounds like breakfast heaven to me 🙂
Thank you for sharing,they look delicious and easy to make. I am wondering if you have tried it with a banana instead of the applesauce since I always have those more available than opening a new jar of applesauce. I think I will try both ways and hope to let you know. Thanks again for the share
No, I haven’t tried using mashed banana instead of the applesauce but DANG that sounds DEEEELICIOUS!!! If you try it out, let me know how it turns out 😀

YUM, I definitely have to try this out!
I’ve been looking for a great snack like this to take to work and these seem to fit the bill almost exactly!
I do have a couple questions about possible ingredient substitution. I am not vegan or vegetarian so I do not have some of these ingredients on hand on a regular basis. I was wondering if it would work to use regular milk instead of the almond milk and peanut butter instead of almond butter…
Thanks!
Hi Jeni! Yes, regular milk will work in place of the almond milk, and peanut butter will work in place of the almond butter. The energy bites will just have a peanut butter flavor, but that’ll still taste great I’m sure! 😀
