Serves: 12-14
Ingredients
  • 1 cup oats (quick or old fashioned)
  • ¼ cup smooth peanut butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup cocoa nibs
  • [Note: Alternatively, instead of the cranberries and cocoa nibs you could use up to ½ cup total of other add-ins like peanuts, almonds, candy, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, etc. Use what you like but don't go over ½ cup otherwise you'll need more peanut butter or honey]
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl mix together the oats, peanut butter, honey, cranberries, and cocoa nibs (or different add-ins if using). Mix until everything looks coated in sticky peanut butter or honey.
  2. Put the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the bowl from the fridge, form into balls about the size of golf balls. If everything is too sticky and won't hold its shape, put it in the fridge for a little longer. If everything is too dry add a little more peanut butter until the bites can hold their shape.
  4. Eat immediately or store, covered, in the fridge. Should last about a week before the oats get too soggy.
