No Bake Energy Bites
servings
These No-Bake Energy Bites made with oats, almonds, flax seed, honey, dried cranberries, almonds, and almond butter, are a great pick me up. They're perfect as an after-school or post workout snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ⅔ cup toasted coconut
- ½ cup almond butter peanut butter can be substituted
- ½ cup flax seed meal
- ⅓ cup slivered almonds chopped
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries I used the Reduced Sugar Craisins, chopped
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the oats, coconut, almond butter, flax seed meal, slivered almonds, dried cranberries, honey, and vanilla extract into a large bowl.
- With a rubber spatula, make sure everything is mixed together really well.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls with your hands if you don't mind a bit of a sticky mess OR you can place the bowl into the fridge for about 15 minutes to set before you roll.
- Once rolled, you will have about 20 energy bites depending on how large or small you made them.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I think they are best when eaten cold.
