Peanut Butter Breakfast Bites; deliciously chewy little bites made with dates, granola and peanut butter, to satisfy your sweet and savoury needs!

The only reason I get out of bed in the morning is to eat breakfast.

Ok, maybe a little dramatic, but still 75% true.

However, though my Instagram feed may suggest otherwise, breakfast doesn’t always have to be a big mess of ingredients and time-consuming recipes. Some mornings, I love nothing more than gently stirring my oats as they slowly cook into a creamy porridge, or watching the air bubbles quietly pop on the top of my half-cooked pancakes. Some mornings I just need something tasty and filling in my mouth NOW.

Smoothies are often my go-to speedy morning meal. Whizzing up fruit, juice, oats, yoghurt, and whatever flavourings I fancy is quick and easy, and great if I’m feeling too lazy to even chew. Sometimes you just need a change though, right? Something quick, but satisfying. Like fireworks, or that cup of tea that you made even though you don’t really have time to drink it.

Inspired by some recent snacking experimentation, I’ve perfected this delicious Peanut Butter Breakfast Bites recipe. Wonderfully soft and chewy bites, with sticky sweetness from dates and salty richness from the peanut butter and peanut granola. I’m kinda sad that I have none left now…

These are easily the tastiest breakfast bites/energy bites I’ve made. The salty sweetness is so fulfilling, and the texture is just a perfect balance between soft and firm.

I made these using medjool dates, which are those lovely fresh-tasting sticky dates, not the drier kind you pick up in bags that you might use in baking or snack mixes. Medjool dates are a little more pricey, but you get much more bang for your buck with the flavour and texture they provide! If you don’t fancy spending a little extra, you can always use the drier or chopped kind, just make sure to give them a soak for 15-30 minutes in some hot water first!

The other main ingredient in these Peanut Butter Breakfast Bites is one of my favourite breakfast cereals right now, Breakfast By Bella granola.

If you can’t get your hands on that though, using any other peanut cereal or peanut granola would be a fine substitution. I can imagine those Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut Peanut Butter Clusters working a treat here!

  1. These bites look so good. In a holiday season chalk full of sugar, dairy, and meat it’s refreshing to see a naturally sweetened recipe. I don’t know about you, but I’m already needing a detox so this recipe is just what the doctored ordered!

    1. Thanks, Christina! These make a great healthy snack or breakfast, especially if you’re gearing up for a big festive meal. You’re probably right, but I’m still all about that sugar and butter, haha!
