Strawberry Energy Bites (high fiber snack for toddlers)
These strawberry energy bites are a high-fiber, no-bake snack for toddlers made with oats, cashew butter, freeze-dried strawberries, and Tiny Sprouts. Soft, cake-pop style, and picky-eater friendly.
Equipment
Ingredients
energy bites
- 1 cup quick oats
- ½ cup cashew butter or sunflower seed butter
- ⅓ cup freeze-dried strawberries crushed into powder
- ¼ cup Tiny Sprouts brain booster or ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-3 tablespoon applesauce or water optional, as needed if they're dry
- 2-4 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional for sweetness
optional coating
- ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1-2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 1-2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional for sweetness
Instructions
- Add the quick oats, cashew butter, freeze-dried strawberry powder, Tiny Sprouts, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl or food processor. Mix or pulse until a thick, moldable dough forms. Add applesauce or water or more nut butter 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to help the mixture come together.
- Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place on parchment paper and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm.
- Insert cake-pop or lollipop sticks into the chilled balls, gently pinching the dough around the stick to secure.
- If using the coating, whisk the yogurt and melted coconut oil. Dip the pops, let excess drip off, and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes until set.
