Recipe: Chewy Cinnamon & Seed Snacks

Recipe: Chewy Cinnamon & Seed Snacks
May 30, 2025Recipes

 

Snacks like these chewy cinnamon and seed bites can be a great way to bridge the gap between meals and keep us energized throughout the day. But satiety and energy levels depend entirely on what goes into those snacks!  Incorporating healthy fat and protein sources, like nuts and seeds, ensures the snack truly satisfies hunger.  The addition of rolled oats and cinnamon also contributes fiber and blood sugar stabilizing benefits.

The seeds and nut butter in this recipe can be mixed and matched to accommodate your preferences or to simply use what you have on hand. One beneficial aspect of the specific seeds used in these bites is their richness in nutrients like zinc and selenium. These minerals are beneficial for boosting immune function, supporting thyroid health, and reducing cellular damage that generally accumulates over time.

No matter the reason, whip up a batch of these Chewy Cinnamon & Seed Snacks for easy snacking any day of the week!
