Krusteaz, which is experienced in making premium baking, pancake and waffle mixes, is now introducing Energizing Oat Bite Mixes in two varieties: Chocolate Chip Oat and Cinnamon Oat. The products are easy to prepare, especially as they require no baking, and they promise to appeal to consumers who are looking for better-for-you, protein-packed snacks made with just a few simple ingredients.
The no-bake mixes are made with ingredients like whole-grain oats, flaxseed and chia. Both of the varieties boast eight grams of plant-based protein per serving and get half of their calories from healthy fats, complex carbs and protein. The dry mixes are meant to be combined with a few fresh ingredients, namely nut or seed butter and honey or agave.
