Becky’s tips

• Peanut Butter: If you are dealing with a peanut allergy, you can sub other butters such as sunflower seed butter.
• Coconut: You can also use shredded coconut, but I recommend chopping finer if so. 

Storage: Store peanut butter banana no-bake energy bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
