Ollie Superpower Energy Bites
Makes about twenty 1” bites
1 cup (115g) Rolled Oats- quick cooking
½ cup (55g) Ground Flax Seeds
1/3-1/2 cup Dried Cranberries- sweetened w/ apple juice
½ cup Peanut butter (no added oil) – crunchy or smooth
1-2 Tbsp Honey
2-3 Tbsp Filtered Water or Coconut Oil- optional
Method:
In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Then add the peanut butter and honey. Mix until everything is evenly coated. If the mix is a bit dry, you can add a little more peanut butter, filtered water or coconut oil- about 1 Tbsp at a time. The batter should be somewhat wet, easy to form into balls.
With a medium sized spoon, scoop out a little bit of mixture and roll in your hands to form a ball. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7-10 days.
