FAQs
1. Can I use old-fashioned oats instead of quick oats?
Yes, but the texture will be different. Quick oats blend better and make the bites easier to roll.
2. Are these bites gluten-free?
Yes, as long as you use gluten-free oats, Monster Energy Bites can be made gluten-free.
3. Can I use a different nut butter?
Absolutely! You can substitute creamy peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or any nut butter of your choice.
