Substitutions

Nut-free: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or oat butter.

No honey: Skip it if serving to kids under 1 — the banana adds enough sweetness.

Oats: Quick oats work too, but the texture will be softer and less chewy.

Boost nutrition: Add 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds.

Add-ins: Try mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or finely chopped raisins.

Storing Leftover No bake Oatmeal Bites

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Freezer: Freeze extra banana oat bites in a single layer, then transfer to a container or bag for up to 2 months. Thaw a few at a time as needed.
