cocoa coconut butter oatmeal bites

These cocoa coconut butter oatmeal bites are a perfect quick breakfast or snack. This is a simple recipe that takes about 20 minutes and only has 7 real food ingredients!

I am always looking for easy things to eat in the morning. I do not consider myself a morning person at all. I want my coffee first thing and something simple to eat. I created several of these versions of oatmeal bites including pumpkin, pumpkin cocoa, and peanut butter and cocoa.



For this recipe I used homemade coconut butter. If you have an allergy to peanuts, this is a great substitute for the peanut butter recipe.
