These tempting little bite-size snacks, inspired by Kelly's no bake energy bites, are a delightful combination of oats, seeds and fruit. They make a mid-morning or afternoon energy boost. If you don't have dried barberries, goji or cranberries are great substitutes.

- In a large bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Mix in peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in chia seeds and oats. Mix until well combined. Now add in dried barberries and white chocolate chips.
- Divide the mixture into 25 g portions, then roll between lightly moistened hands to make about 14 balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
healthy energy bites.. yum!

ReplyDeleteI need some energy right now! Once again, wish you lived next door so I could share!
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of things and I happen to have an open bag of barberries. Although goji berries also sound good, somebody mentioned them above, I could also imagine to make these using goji.
ReplyDeleteThey look like lovely treats packed with yummy but healthy ingredients. Very cute, too!
ReplyDeleteThese sound great, Angie! I actually bought some barberries at a Middle Eastern grocery and was going to use them in rice, but now I can try these. Hurray!
ReplyDeleteLooks good! Looks REALLY good! These are the pick me up snacks I need during the day.

I haven't seen barberries around here, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for them. But I'm sure they're just as wonderful with dried cranberries :)
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteSweet! I have all the ingredients to make this! Except the vanilla powder. Can you use extract instead?
ReplyDeleteI love these energy bites, Angie!:) They look so so pretty and completely addicting! I've never tried barberries before but I'm so intrigued to find some now! I could eat this entire batch :)

ReplyDeleteYummy energy bites. Love it totally.
ReplyDeleteI have seen barberry bushes - but none with actual berries! Must be a different bush. But these are just the thing - to satisfy my sweet tooth and get me off this winter-eating pattern I've developed that is not helping my waistline. You make everything so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI never had a barberry before! Don't even know if you can find them here but I would LOVE them with cranberries! They are as irresistible as dessert.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love these energy bites, and all of your bowls. I want to steal your bowls, they're gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteMy SIL gave me a container of dried barberries a while back and I have no idea what to do with them. This bite look chewy (which I love) and a great way to start the day or get an afternoon pick me up.
ReplyDeleteThey look irresistibly cute! ><
ReplyDeleteEnergy bites are always a good snack. I love the combination of ingredients in your energy bites.I have not heard of barberries before, so I looked them up. They sound wonderful and I think they would be perfect in this recipe.
