Brown Sugar Oatmeal Bites

Emily Dingmann (@myeverydaytable) created a hearty, delicious, stick-to-your-ribs kind of snack that we can’t get enough of. Whether it’s for after school or a quick lunchtime bite, these Brown Sugar Oatmeal Bites are a must-make.



There’s something so comforting and cozy about the combination of oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. It brings warmth and fall vibes with every bite, and may even remind you of the oatmeal packets many of us grew up eating.


These Brown Sugar Oatmeal Bites capture that classic oatmeal flavor in a wholesome, snackable form that’s easy to take on the go, and they’re perfect for after-school snacking or packing into lunchboxes. As a parent, I love that they’re wholesome and nutritious, and my kids love that they’re sweet and delicious!


Made with hearty whole grain oats and flour, these bites are lightly sweetened with maple syrup, making them a great option for the whole family. They’re sweet, soft, easy to pack and provide a great boost of energy.


They’ll keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, but they also freeze really well, so I recommend freezing any that you won’t eat in the first two days. Just take them out as needed.
