Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bites

Quick little recipe coming at ya!

These little babies have been my go to pre-workout snack lately and I’m loving it. They are mostly carbs & lower in fat which makes them a little easier to digest before a workout. What’s even better is that they’re beyond delish and super easy to make. Lately, I’ve been making a batch on Sunday for the whole week.

Honestly, these little oatmeal bites/cookies are super versatile. They could be a quick pre-workout snack, dessert, or even part of breakfast. However, if I was to have these for breakfast I’d add some peanut butter and likely have some eggs on the side. And I’d probably have AT LEAST two of these little babies.
