Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bites

These snack bites are a favorite in our house.

Filled with whole grains, healthy fats and superfoods such as chia seeds and hemp hearts. I first had these back when my oldest played travel softball. Every tournament weekend a mom would brig a double batch to the field and the girls went nuts over them. Luckily, I was given the recipe and have only slightly adapted it over the years.

These oatmeal chocolate chip bites are great when in need a quick midday snack or pick-me-up. I also love having these on hand when when craving something sweet. They are wholesome yet decadent, which for me is the perfect combo!
