These energy bites blend rolled oats, medjool dates, and a generous dose of cinnamon into a chewy, no-bake snack reminiscent of cinnamon roll filling. A quick drizzle of vanilla glaze on top mimics the icing, making them satisfying for breakfast, a midday pick-me-up, or a post-workout bite. They come together in one bowl and firm up in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 10 medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Method

  1. Place the pitted medjool dates in a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky, finely chopped paste.

  2. Add the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and ground flaxseed to the food processor.

  3. Pulse the mixture until everything is well combined and sticks together when pressed between your fingers, scraping down the sides as needed.

  4. Scoop out level tablespoons of the mixture and roll each into a smooth ball with your palms, arranging them on a parchment-lined tray.

  5. Refrigerate the rolled bites for 20 minutes to firm up.

  6. Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable, adding more milk a few drops at a time if needed.

  7. Drizzle the glaze over the chilled bites and let it set for 5 minutes before serving.

  8. Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
