I loved this recipe! I didn’t use coconut and chocolate as I didn’t have any. It was delicious! So good! I’m going to definitely going to make this again! Thanks Sam!

In reply to Jena. Hi Jena! I'm glad you enjoyed them! While I think it will "work" I just want you to be aware that the flavor will be VERY strong. :)

I followed the recipe previously and they are super delicious!

I want to make this again. I’m out of honey can I substitute it with molasses or should I just use extra peanut butter? I know it’ll change up the flavor.

Thanks!

I make these with Sunbutter (sunflower seed butter) for my kid’s lunch since his school is nut free. They are super yummy!

In reply to Stacy. Hi, Stacy! The peanut butter in combination with the honey is what brings the ingredients together. Unfortunately, there isn't a good substitute that I can think of off-hand. You could possibly try using cookie butter? Without trying it myself I am not sure how it would do. If you do, I'd love to know how it turned out.

Is there another alternative to the peanut butter? I’m allergic to all nuts. I think applesauce may be too runny.

These are amazing!! Both my girls LOVED them also.

I didn’t have coconut, so left that out. I left out the salt, since I usually don’t put it in most of my cooking. I used chocolate chips, but didn’t do the chocolate over them at the end. I used quick oats, since that’s all I had on hand.

Fantastic! I was wanting a “healthier” sweet, and this hit the spot! Thank you for another great recipe!

In reply to Lorelei Kawchuk. Hi Loralei! I am not sure of a good substitute here, but you shouldn't have any issues if you leave it out. :)

Hi, Sam…
These No Bake Energy Bites sound healthy, & I’d like to try them, except for one thing… I’ve got an allergy to coconut!! Can you suggest something that could be used in place of coconut in this particular recipe, without problems to the final product???
If you can, it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!

In reply to SCP. The coconut is just the shredded variety, which to my understanding is not fully desiccated, as it retains a little more moisture. I think if you add extra honey, it may end up being a little sticky, but I have not tried it, so I am not certain how it will turn out.

Hi Sam… would the shredded coconut also mean dessicated? If it isn’t the sweetened variety, I can just opt to add a tad more honey?

Thank you!

In reply to Cindy W. Hi, Cindy. I have never used agave nectar, so I am not sure if the consistency is thinner than honey or not. If it is the same consistency, it will work. :)
