Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pistachios, and chopped dried cranberries. Add the chia seeds (if using), cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate small bowl, mix the honey, peanut butter (or almond butter), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Mix:
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is evenly coated and combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but firm enough to hold its shape.
- Form the Bites:
- Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). You can use your hands or a cookie scoop to make the process quicker.
- Chill:
- Place the energy bites on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter bite, add an extra tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- You can substitute the dried cranberries for raisins or other dried fruits like cherries or apricots if preferred.
- These energy bites are perfect for meal prepping. Make a batch on the weekend and have a healthy snack ready for the week!
