Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für ein besonders gleichmäßiges Ergebnis solltest du die Mischung mit einem stabilen Löffel oder Spatel kräftig vermengen. Ein leicht geöltes Hände-Rollen hilft, dass nichts klebt. Wenn die Mischung zu trocken erscheint, gib einen Teelöffel mehr Honig oder Nussbutter dazu. Um mehr Nährstoffe zu integrieren, mische gerne einen Esslöffel Chia- oder Hanfsamen unter.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Ersetze die Erdnussbutter durch Mandel- oder Sonnenblumenkernbutter, um eine nussfreie Variante zu erhalten. Verwende Ahornsirup anstelle von Honig für eine vegane Version (und achte darauf, dass die Schokostückchen milchfrei sind). Für zusätzliche Geschmacksrichtungen und Knusper können gehackte Trockenfrüchte, Nüsse oder Körner untergemischt werden.

Serviervorschläge

Serviere die Oat Bites gekühlt direkt aus dem Kühlschrank für einen festen Biss, oder gib sie als süßen Snack ins Lunchpaket. Auch auf Wanderungen und beim Sport sind sie ein beliebter Energiespender. Zum Kaffee oder Tee bieten sie sich als sättigendes Gebäck ohne Reue an.
