Now that Cheyenne is older and likes to walk home from school herself I like to surprise her with a healthy snack when she gets home. Finding something to make that doesn’t take much time and has wholesome ingredients is always a must. When we found these healthy Peanut Butter Snack Bites we knew we had a winner!
The recipe is simple and straightforward; the kids can even make it on their own! It is the kids’ favourite play date snack now too.
You start with:
- 1 cup large flaked rolled oats
- ½ cup Kraft All Natural Smooth Peanut Butter
- ¼ cup honey
Once you gather the ingredients all you have to do is follow these three simple steps.
First – Mix ingredients together in a medium bowl until blended
Second – Roll into 20 (1-inch) balls, using about 2 Tbsp for each
Third – Chill for 20-30 minutes
Once you’ve mastered the recipe it is easy to switch things up by adding ingredients. A few of our favourites include:
- pumpkin seeds
- chia seeds
- raisins
- chocolate chips
- icing sugar
- toffee bits
They might not all be the healthiest choices but having options is always a must for Cheyenne’s afterschool snack. You can add a couple ingredients to the batter or just stick with your favourite to make the perfect bites. I love oatmeal raisin cookies so adding a ¼ cup of raisins to the batter makes them the perfect small snack bite!

The best part of an afterschool snack is how she loves to sit there and have a conversation while she’s eating. It is those moments that make being a stay at home Mom so rewarding.
