Notes
Nutrition facts are for one bite.
Store energy bites in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about one week.
You can leave out the Cheerios and use more oats if you like.
If you want to add some dried fruit instead of chocolate chips, you can do that. You can also add ground flax seed, hemp seeds, or chia seeds to the mixture. Add a little more sunbutter if necessary if the mixture gets too dry with extra ingredients.
