SunButter Energy Bites
SunButter Energy Bites are small no-bake snacks made from rolled oats, sunflower seed butter, flaxseed, chia or hemp seeds, raisins, and chocolate chips. These bites combine chewy textures from the oats and raisins with a creamy, nutty flavor from the sunflower seed butter. They are easy to shape into bite-sized balls and can be stored chilled or frozen for convenience. Their balanced sweetness from maple syrup and raisins makes them a handy energy boost for snacking or lunchbox treats.

Notes
- Dried fruit can be swapped; cherries, cranberries, or dates work well instead of raisins.
- Chocolate chips are optional and can be replaced with more dried fruit if preferred.
- Tahini or other nut butters can substitute sunflower seed butter if nut-free options aren't needed.
- Maple syrup can be omitted or replaced with honey or agave syrup according to taste or dietary choice.
