Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet or plate
  • Parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or raisins
  • 1/4 cup flaxseeds
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut optional
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until the mixture is thick and well blended. It might feel a little sticky—totally normal!
  • Scoop and roll the mixture into small balls, about 1-inch wide—perfect for tiny toddler hands.
  • Place the bites on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This helps them firm up and hold their shape.
  • Serve and enjoy! These bites are soft, naturally sweet, and toddler-approved. Store extras for easy grab-and-go snacks later.

Notes

Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2–3 months. Thaw before serving.
Baby-Friendly Modifications: For babies under 1, use maple syrup instead of honey. You can also pulse the oats for a smoother texture.
Allergy-Friendly Options: Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version, and dairy-free chocolate chips or extra raisins if needed.
Boost Nutrition: Add a spoonful of chia seeds, hemp hearts, or even a touch of mashed banana or applesauce.
Parent Tip: These bites are great for little helpers—let your toddler stir or roll if they want to join in!
