These little treats are perfect for a mid-morning snack because the fiber from the oats help beat cravings in between meals. Also, these would be great to eat while you’re at work! They only take about 10-15 minutes to make, so you can easily make them if you’re in a time crunch. Almond butter is a great way to add protein to your diet if you are a vegan or vegetarian.
