No-Bake Energy Bites with Oats and Dried Cherries image

These coconut- and oat-studded bites come together in just one bowl (no food processor required!). Keep them on hand for a healthy morning or afternoon pick-me-up or a satisfying after-school snack. If your family or school is nut-free, follow the sunflower butter option instead of using almond or peanut butter.

These energy bites are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred them if they had less honey.

I'm not a huge fan of dried cherries, but I still enjoyed these energy bites. The peanut butter and honey helped to balance out the tartness of the cherries.
