Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or peanuts)
- 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, and ground flaxseed. Stir until evenly combined.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, just until the mixture is warm and easier to stir.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the peanut butter and honey mixture. Stir to combine.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and sticky.
Using your hands, take a small handful (about 2 tablespoons) of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make approximately 12 Gorpies.
Place the Gorpies on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Once firm, transfer the Gorpies to an airtight container or resealable bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
