Modifications

  • Allergic to peanuts? Substitute almond butter for the peanut butter.
  • Not a fan of coconut? If you are allergic to coconut, you can use crushed almonds or another type of nut instead. If you just don’t like coconut, give the recipe a try anyway. I don’t usually like coconut, but I love these energy bites!
  • Huge chocolat fan? Add ½ cup chocolate chips to the mix!
