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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Step 2
Use a spatula or clean hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until they are evenly combined and form a cohesive dough-like consistency.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Place the rolled snacks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Chill the snacks in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Enjoy as a quick and energizing snack while spending time by the river or any outdoor adventure!
