Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup Creamy Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
  • 0.33 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt
Dry Mix-Ins
  • 1.5 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 0.5 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 0.5 cup Pecans chopped
  • 0.5 cup Dried Cranberries
  • 0.33 cup Shredded Coconut unsweetened

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Cookie Scoop or Spoon
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in the oats until they are fully coated by the wet mixture.
  3. Add the chocolate chips, chopped pecans, dried cranberries, and coconut. Fold gently until evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. This makes the sticky mixture easier to handle.
  5. Remove from fridge. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll tightly between palms to form balls.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

If the mixture is too dry to roll, add a teaspoon more honey. If too wet, add more oats.
