No-bake and packed with fiber and filling ingredients
Ingredients
2½ cups oats (quick oats, rolled oats, or a mixture of the two)
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
2 Tbsp chia seeds or hemp seeds
1 cup nut butter (I used ½ cup peanut butter, ½ cup pumpkin seed butter)
⅔ cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
¾ cup mini M&Ms
⅓ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. If the mixture seems too wet, add ¼ cup more oats. If it's too dry, add a Tablespoon more nut butter. It should hold together when lightly squeezed or pressed against the edge of the bowl with a spoon. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to set to make it easier to shape.
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and portion the dough into balls of desired size. I scoop them all quickly onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, then roll them into nicer balls.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
