Peanut Butter Bites

Peanut butter can be one of those foods that's very easy to overeat, especially when you’re eating it with a spoon straight out of the jar.

So I do find that having it in an indulgent treat like these, portioned out into pieces, really helps me eat it in moderation.*

The 3 main ingredients also do a great balancing act. With the fat in the peanut butter slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates from the dates and blended oats, which keeps you fuller for longer.
