Although oatmeal—a beige-colored whole-grain with a stodgy texture and bland flavor—might seem boring to you, it is in fact one of the most versatile foods which you can experiment with and turn into true magic simply by adding flavorings and a variety of toppings.

If you are skeptical by the looks of these energy bites, don’t knock it until you try it as we all know don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

If you have read my previous oatmeal blog post, you might remember me saying how oatmeal is one of the most versatile foods ever—similar to rice, bread, and anything plain—oatmeal can be eaten both sweet and savory.
