Things have been so hectic lately, and when that happens these little energy bites are the perfect snack to take with you! They are full of yummy goodness: peanut butter, cranberries, oats and walnuts! The protein keeps you full and gives you a boost of energy, the oats and walnuts give it a really nice texture also! Feel free to add or take out your favorite nuts or dried fruit and even add a handful of dark chocolate chips. If you have time you can shape them into balls or even just set them in a non stick tray and cut out small bars, whatever works for you!
Ingredients
1.25 cups oats
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
3/4 cup finely chopped or ground walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup craisins
2/3 cup shredded coconut - unsweetened
Directions
- Mix together well. 5 minutes with the paddle attachment in the kitchenaid makes it easy
- Refrigerate 15 minutes
- The using a small cookie scooper scoop out, squeeze/condense in your hand and the roll into balls. This is the most time consuming step. Next time I may press the mix into a container it pan - chill and then cut little pieces or shape into 1" balls.
