Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds or walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, chocolate chips, flaxseed, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- For energy balls: Roll the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- For bars: Press the mixture evenly into an 8x8-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, then cut into 12 bars.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips
- Customize with your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits.
- Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or protein powder for extra nutrition.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter.
- Roll balls in shredded coconut or cocoa powder for a decorative finish.
