Cinnamon Raisin Energy Bites are a healthy, no-bake snack recipe full of oats, peanut butter, honey & more. Perfect for after school or your daily workout.
Are you ready for an awesome snack? I am totally focused on revamping some of our favorite recipes & making them better for us. Are you with me?! So I decided to create these Cinnamon Raisin Energy Bites – because they are loaded with peanut butter & oats to keep us all feeling full & give us energy PLUS the addition of a favorite flavor- cinnamon.
There are so many days that my son volunteers at the station, has lecture early in the morning or he’s working a super long shift. He almost always is rushing out the door & barely has time to pack food, let alone prepare something & sit down & eat. He just doesn’t always have time to make himself a breakfast that will stay with him until they can break for lunch.

Fortunately these are super simple to make. I can whip them up quickly ahead of time & portion them out in easy to go baggies or containers so he can grab & go. Just combine all the ingredients in a large bowl & fold together until well incorporated. Then scoop out tablespoon sized portions & roll between your hands to form a ball. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet & chill in the refrigerator before enjoying.
Here are some commonly asked questions…
How long do your chill these before you can eat them?
I like to refrigerate at least 4 hours. If I am in a real big hurry I will pop them in the freezer for about an hour.
Do we have to include the raisins?
I understand raisins aren’t for everyone. You can definitely leave them out.
What else could I mix in these?
You could do mini chocolate chips, craisins, sunflower seeds or mini M&M’s. They would all be delicious in this recipe.

These energy bites look amazing. I love cinnamon and raisin anything. I’ll definitely be tweaking this recipe to make it my own. Thanks for the inspiration!
sue says
can you use regular non instant oats?
Gina Kleinworth says
Hi Sue, you can substitute quick oats if you like. However, because steel cut & old fashioned oats need to absorb more moisture than quick or instant oats & have a chewier texture, I don’t recommend them for this recipe.
Sara says
I misread the recipe and used rolled oats. They turned out great! We love these energy balls.
