Manuka Honey Energy Bites are made using coconuts and oats in just one bowl (no food processor required!). Keep them on hand for a healthy morning or afternoon pick-me-up or a satisfying after-school snack. If your family or school is nut-free, follow the sunflower butter option instead of using almond or peanut butter.
