These fun little monster cookie energy bites are just like eating cookie dough. They take almost no effort to make. Just stir up the goodness and roll it into balls. They are a perfect portable snack for so many occasions.
These easy energy bites are loaded with the good stuff. They are tasty and quick to put together too. They taste like monster cookie dough, but are safe to eat raw.
Throw them in your lunch box, serve them as a fun after school snack or eat them after a workout. You’ll love having them around.
Sometimes in life you just need a little snack. Whether it’s an after school snack, or after work snack.
Maybe it’s a 3:00 slump snack… or just because you’re hungry, bored, tired, happy, sad, silly or just because you’re awake snack.
No?
Just me?
No matter what the reason for the snack, these little gems are the perfect thing!
Monster cookies are an all time favorite treat in my family. They are so delicious and none of us can say no when MiMi bakes up a batch.
She used to freeze the dough so she could bake up a few fresh cookies each day after school. Homework is a lot more tolerable when there’s a plate of warm and fresh cookies around!

While keeping some dough in the freezer to bake up is a great time saver, sometimes there us no dough in the freezer and sometimes turning on the oven feels like a bit too much. I’m sure we’ve all been there.
That is where these little balls of delight come in. They whip up in a couple of minutes flat.
They don’t take anything more than a bowl and spatula so they are perfect for little helpers as well. Plus with no raw eggs or flour, there is no concern about eating the dough. That’s the finished product!
You can even eat them right away, though they are more set up and the texture evens out if you refrigerate them for a bit.
So if you love monster cookies…. (me!)
Or if you love cookie dough…. (me!)
And you like quick and easy treats… (me!)
If you need a little pick me up, fun after school snack, project to do with the kiddos, after workout treat, fun roadtrip snack or a million other reasons, these puppies are for you!
My husband loved them because they weren’t too sweet. Little Dude loved them because of the fun colored candies.
I love them because peanut butter, oatmeal and chocolate happen to be three of my favorite food groups. Maybe I can work some frosting in on the next batch to have all of my bases covered. 😉

I want to eat a whole bowl of these hehehehe. PINNED!
It's easy to be tempted to! Thanks, Kelly!
I might have to try these for an office snack. But only taking 3 or 4 with a day, because otherwise you know what would happen…. gone like magic!
It's hard to stop if you have the whole bowl of them in front of you. I am definitely speaking from experience there. But a few in your lunch is perfect!
Well we all need a little cookie dough in our lives don't we. It's not quite as good as frosting, but close! lol
Cookie dough does rank up there pretty close! Thanks, Amy!
Hi Cralee, these do sound interesting! These days I'm the one hankering after that mid afternoon energy fix and these past few weeks my energy snack of choice o anything with chocolate. These maybe a healthier way of me beating that afternoon slump!

Hopefully they do the trick. The oatmeal and chocolate balance each other out 😉
