Jump to Recipe

Let me introduce you to my latest snack of choice, Peanut Butter Apple Cinnamon Energy Bites. There’s just something about the salty peanut butter with sweet apple bits and the zing of cinnamon that makes these energy bites taste so. dang. delicious! 

Plus they’re made with only FIVE ingredients and take less than 20 minutes to make, now that’s what I’m talking about. These are perfect for a quick snack, to meal prep, and to just enjoy on those busy days when there’s not enough time to be all “fancy” with your food. Keep it simple with these energy bites and thank me later 😉

Ingredients for These Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Apple – I prefer Honeycrisp apples because of the crisp texture and sweet flavor. Any apple would work for these bites though! 

Peanut Butter – Now hear me out here but I truly LOVE the taste of Jif peanut butter in these! There’s no shame in enjoying a classic PB that’s not as “natural” as others. But if that is the way you want to go, I also really love Georgia Grinders peanut butter here too – use code: PAIGE20 to save 20% off!

Old Fashion Oats – Holds these bites together and gives a slightly chewy texture that is just perfect.

Cinnamon Sugar – The perfect touch of sweetness with cinnamon to take these peanut butter bites over the top. It pairs really well with the apple!

Slivered Almonds – Adds a crunch to these bites that I love. You could try subbing for another nut like pecans or walnuts too!

Besides how easy and tasty these energy bites/balls are, I also love how creative they can be! I mean after all, I created this recipe based off of the flavors I was craving in the moment, peanut butter + apple. So get creative with your own cravings and see what fun flavor or texture swaps you can make with these! 

A few that I’d suggest trying out: 

  • dried cranberries
  • raisins 
  • chocolate chips (my fave)
  • toffee chips
  • pecans, walnuts, peanuts
  • sunflower or pumpkin seeds
  • coconut shreds
You could also try making these with a different nut or seed butter too, the options are endless! Whether you make this recipe as is or put your own creative spin on it, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Comment below or find me on IG and let’s discuss, how did these energy bites turn out for you?! Let’s connect!
