10 Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned rolled oats?

Can I substitute dates with another dried fruit?
Yes, you can use raisins, dried figs, or apricots. Just ensure they are sticky and moist to help bind the mixture.
How can I make these nut-free?
Substitute pecans with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or extra oats.

Fresh coconut can be used, but it may change the texture and moisture level. Use desiccated coconut for the closest result.
How long do these energy bites last?

Can I add protein powder to these bites?
Yes, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. You may need to add a little extra moisture (like a splash of water or nut milk).
