Made with pantry staples, these healthy chocolate oat bites make a great afternoon or lunch box snack.  

These healthy chocolate oat bites are a rolled oat-based concoction that falls somewhere between a breakfast food and a dessert; a granola bar and an oatmeal cookie.

It’s butter-less and flour-less, and just slightly sweetened with melted chocolate chips and honey.

This cheap recipe is super adaptable, and uses ingredients that you probably already have on hand:

• If you don’t have regular milk, you can substitute oat milk, soy milk, almond milk or another variety.
• If you have a nut allergy, you could swap in sunflower seeds or toasted coconut.

There are so many different directions this recipe could go. Have fun making your own version!
