Gluten Free Trail Mix Peanut Butter Bites! These no bake peanut butter bites are super easy to make, packed with protein, healthy fats, and great for snacking at any time!
Happy Labor Day weekend ya’ll! I hope you get a chance not to labor. But if you do, you should labor with love and make these bites. Is that corny enough for you? Actually, these are another “update” bite. I made these ages ago, again with a horrible picture, and wanted to REFRESH them. I’m so glad I did because when I remade these, I changed the recipe just a tad.
Can you see the special ingredient? Besides trail mix that is.
Yep, peanut M&M’s. As in Mountain Trail mix Peanut Butter bites! YESS!!
I know, some of you with peanut allergies are feeling left out. So sorry! But don’t worry, you can easily sub out the peanuts and make this PB free! And in case you are wondering regular M&M’s and Peanut M&M’s regular are on the gluten free list Although that doesn’t make them any healthier. But pair it with healthy trail mix and it kind of evens out, right? Haha.
Also, if you are looking for All Natural or Nut free M&M’s, then I highly recommend Sunspire! They have all kids of allergy friendly M&M’s!
Alright, let’s get to the UPDATED Trail Mix peanut butter protein bite recipe!
