EASY TO MAKE OATMEAL ENERGY BITES

[@zimriyah]

Thank you Berta J! Surprisingly on yesterday, I baked rolled oats cookies! Three easy ingredients, oats, ripe bananas, and cinnamon [ agave optional]. Next batch will definitely be using energy boosters with seeds!

[@bertajay]

Sounds like a great plan, Virtuous! You do have good ideas. I like your style. Thanks for your comment. Would you share your cookie recipe with me with measurements..🤔.I'd like to make them and perhaps share them on my channel. Let me know 😊 Thank you.

[@dianeneary4672]

Oh how tempting these are! I can't wait to try them. Thank you, Berta Jay!

[@bertajay]

Tempting and so good, Diane. Let me know how you like them after you get a chance to make them. Thanks for your support!🤓

[@savannahv1808]

Another winner! Now I’m on the hunt for the apricots😂😎

[@bertajay]

Thanks so much, Girl. You know you could use any dried fruits; even ones you dried in a dehydrator! I get my apricots from Traders or Wholefoods. I appreciate your comments, as always.😎😊

[@IM_Morethan]

I will be making these. Thank you Berta Jay.

[@bertajay]

I am so glad about that, Chanel. You are welcome. DO NOT eat more than 2 or 3 because they are loaded with fiber...do you understand what I mean? They are delicious but eat only a 2/3 at a time😉

[@maggie2936-q1m]

Yay! It’s Tuesday! Berta Jay day! I’m looking forward to trying these oatmeal energy bites. 😎

[@bertajay]

Berta Jay Day!🥳 I'm liking the sound of that, Maggie😄...thanks so much! I forward to hearing from you after you make these. They are like tiny little desserts...a real treat! 😁

[@connielabarr2249]

I made these with a few substations based on what I had in the cupboard and they are absolutely wonderful! I added some protein power and got a little more of the protein that I need. When my grandkids get home from school, I will probably have to make the recipe again so I can have some.

[@bertajay]

That's exactly what I want you to do with my recipes...use what you've got, what you like and leave out what you don't...that make a recipe yours. Thanks, Connie for sharing your wonderful substitutions! 😀👍🏾

Oh yum!! Thank you Berta Jay!!

These are so yummy, Kim. Just remember not to eat more than 3-4 because of the high fiber content. Just eat each one very slowly 😋

[@bertajay]

Oh, my goodness, Mindy. You have truly blessed me with your words.💃🏾 When my son, Evan, and I started this channel I told him I wanted to help people with what I do and say. Little did I know, Mindy, that I would bring peace to so many with just my voice. I still don't understand that, but perhaps it's best that I don't. I just do what I do and am who I am by God's grace and support. Thanks you, Mindy. Oh, yes, these little bites are really delicious, even if you aren't WFPB (whole-food plant-based)! Just enjoy them...they are so good for you!👍🏾😋

[@patc.318]

Hi Ms Berta! These are amazing!! My crew really enjoyed these and have already put in a request for another batch! We've been working on reducing sugar intake but still enjoy something sweet. We enjoy the chia seeds in smoothies so adding them to these energy bites is another wonderful way to work them into the diet. Thank you for sharing your recipe and method and for another video!

[@bertajay]

You're welcome, Pat. I really enjoy these, also. Just remember my warning: don't eat more than 3 or maybe 4 because of the high fiber content. i don't want you visiting the bathroom than necessary. 😁 Okay?

[@patc.318]

@@bertajay Gotcha, Ms Berta! These energy bites are made small and rationed out exactly because of the high fiber content. No issues so far!

[@almostjane1754]

These look great, Berta. Simple good healthy ingredients. Simple process. And I love nut butters. I have some sunflower butter right now I'll try use for these. Question - do you recommend KEEPING these in the freezer? Or just freezing them after rolling? PS - please think about doing a cookbook! ❤️🥕❤️

[@bertajay]

I like to keep mine in the freezer. I go for the crunch and it is more pronounced when they are frozen. I am thinking more and more about a cookbook. Thanks for being in my 'troup' and for all of your support and encouragement, Almost. You are a gem. 🥰

[@lornabartlett2744]

Yah Berta Jay, we are eating this every day. We will be adding the hemp seeds & cinnamon occasionally. I will add the cran-rasins to butter. water mixture to warm up to soften the oatmeal . I want to use a small icecream scooper

You and I think alike, Brenda. After I made my second batch, I thought the same thing about making them into bars...just press them mixture into a square 8 or 9 inch pan and refrigerate/freeze.

Thank you. Sounds delicious with the dried fruit especially the Cranberries. I've also discovered INCABERRIES.

[@bertajay]

Okay, tigressnsnow, that's interesting. I have only seen pics of them. Have you tried them? Are they sweet? Share with me what you've found out? I am so curious? Also, where did your find them? Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽 😊

[@tigressnsnow]

Berta Jay My info will only be useful to those living on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Incaberries can be bought at KUNARA, Forest Glen, Queensland close to where I live. I discovered them there. Kunara is an organic health warehouse selling fruit & veg as well as organic shelf products with a Naturopathic section where you can buy herbal liquids such as Pau d'Arco which is good for the immune system. I take it to keep me free of the usual flu/ viral infections that go about in the winter as well. It also has a garden nursery in the complex. There's an organic butcher close by too. Incaberries are a great snack and bitter sweet to taste. Not as sweet as say a cranberry. They are sold as dried bulk fruit in Kunara. I prefer them to raisins or sultanas which can be very sweet. Google Kunara and Incaberries (dried) and you'll get more info. I'm sure they must be sold somewhere in the US as a dried product.

[@bertajay]

Absolutely, Pink. You could replace it with more hemp seed. Use this recipe as your base and make it yours. Reminder: more flax seed means more fiber so use self-control with how many you eat...don't want you spending more of your time in the bathroom. Okay? 🤭
