Ingredients
Scale
- 1 + 1/2 c. Member’s Mark walnuts
- 1/2 c. Member’s Mark dried cranberries
- 1 c. old fashioned oats
- 1/4 c. honey
- 1/2 c. chunky peanut butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a small food processor, chop 1 cup of the walnuts until it starts to form a flour like consistency. This should only take 15-20 seconds. You don’t want the walnuts to become a nut butter.
- Roughly chop the remaining 1/2 cup of walnuts on a cutting board.
- Add all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and stir with a spatula until well combined. It should look similar to a thick cookie dough. It should feel very sticky.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, begin forming and rolling your energy bites into 1-2″ balls. If the mixture isn’t holding together, add a bit more peanut butter. There’s no exact science so feel free to tweak as needed.
- Place the energy bits on a cookie sheet, and let them set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Store them in an airtight container (in a cool place/refrigerator) for up to a week.
Notes
- You can swap the nuts, peanut butter and dried fruit if you prefer–I’ve also made these with almonds, almond butter and dark chocolate chips for a sweet treat.
