Cranberry Oat Energy Balls

Very Healthy, Gives you Energy, and Stops Hunger

And the surprising part is, they actually taste great!

Ingredients

1 C Oatmeal
1/3 C Almonds, chopped
1/3 C  Sweetened Shredded Coconut
1 T Ground Flaxseed
1/2 C Peanut Butter (Almond. I use Natural Peanut Butter that goes in the fridge)
1/4 C Honey (If you have allergies try using local  honey)
1 T Chia Seeds
1/3 C Dried Cranberries

Directions

1. Bake oatmeal, almonds and coconut in small pan in oven for 8-10 minutes at 350°, stirring after 5 minutes. Allow time for mixture to cool.

2. In a medium bowl microwave the Peanut Butter for 20-30 seconds until melted
3. Aadd the baked mix, flaxseed, honey, chia seeds and cranberries to the bowl
4. Form into 1.5" balls (this can be a little difficult so dont worry if they are not perfectly round)
5. Refrigerate for 30 minutes
6. Store in an airtight container

You can refrigerated for up to one week or freezer for up to 3 months.

These make more than I can eat in one week so I refrigerate a couple and put the rest in a freezer bag. When I am headed out and don't have time to eat I just take one or two out of the freezer and take it with me. Thaws in 5 - 10 minutes.

Note:
You can also put them in a 9 x 13 pan, refrigerate, and then cut into bars if you prefer.
