Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup peanut butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Use a spatula or clean hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until they are evenly combined and form a cohesive dough-like consistency.
Using your hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make approximately 12 bite-sized snacks.
Place the rolled snacks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Chill the snacks in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Once chilled, transfer the snacks to an airtight container or resealable bag for storage. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Enjoy as a quick and energizing snack while spending time by the river or any outdoor adventure!
