Happy Monday Everyone!
Today I'm sharing my go-to yummy and healthy snack for on-the-go. This is perfect for busy students like myself who don't really know how to bake! It only takes about 10 minutes to prep these and then you're set! These are perfect for snacks, dessert, breakfast or whenever you just need a little boost. If you want to find out how to make these delicious no bake oatmeal bites then just keep reading!
Oats have tons of health benefits. Some benefits include: lower cholesterol levels, antioxidants reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, enhance immune response to infection, stabilize blood sugar, lower type 2 diabetes risk, fibre packed (protective against breast cancer), low calorie/low fat/high protein food which reduces cravings, gluten-free and many others! This is a super fun way to dress up your usual boring cup of oats into something nutritious and delicious...although I wouldn't recommend eating the whole batch in one day...but you may want to because they taste so yummy!

What you'll need:

I ended up making 14 little oatmeal bites out of this mixture.
