Kitchen History
The creator remembers both these energy bites and her Natural Chocolate Truffles as household staples. Tom enjoyed sweets, and she prepared these homemade alternatives to reduce their reliance on store-bought snacks made with ingredients she didn't want to use. These were made repeatedly, not merely collected to try.
This page records an older recipe as made at the time; it is not automatically reformulated for present dietary restrictions. The creator confirms that whenever her notebook says oats, she used steel-cut oats. The original preparation method remains to be confirmed. Steel-cut oats are harder than rolled oats, so a no-bake recipe's texture depends on how they were processed or softened.
