Crunchy Scott Energy Bites I’m not exactly sure if these are vegan. One of the ingredients is Wheaties and if you look on the cereal box – there doesn’t appear to be any animal products listed. But I can never be sure if the sugar or some vitamins were processed or sourced from animal ingredients. You can easily replace the Wheaties with nuts or dried fruit. But I really love the CRUNCH from the Wheaties! (And yeah, I named a recipe after myself.) Ingredients
1/2 cup pitted dates 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup crushed Wheaties
Directions Note: I keep both in the fridge so they stay super-fresh.
