Ever get the mid-morning or mid-afternoon hunger pangs? Or a need for something sweetish? I think we all do from time to time.
These bites will hit the spot. I promise. Not only that they’re still healthy, super easy and quick to make and are gluten/wheat free, lactose/dairy free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This recipe makes 16 bites.
Lastly, feel free to experiment with different types of nut butters e.g. macadamia, cashew etc just make sure it’s a healthy one with no palm oil, hidden sugars or other nasties in there!
