So in connection with Spring awakening and good energy, I share a simple and healthy snack/dessert recipe to have on hand:
No Bake Energy Bites
1/2 C. peanut butter (creamy or chunky, you can have whatever you like)
1/3 C. honey
1 C. dry oatmeal
1/4 C. ground flax seed
1/4 C. sunflower seeds
1/4 C. dark chocolate chips or morsels
1/4 C. dried cranberries
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1.) Using a medium sized bowl, mix peanut butter and honey.
2.) Add oatmeal, flax seed, and sunflower seeds. Keep mixing-
3.) I prefer breaking down the chocolate and cranberries a bit before adding them to the mix. To do so, throw both in a food processor with a bit of olive oil for 10 seconds and that'll do.
4.) Lastly, add the vanilla extract and then chill the mix in the refrigerator for a 1/2 hour. Once chilled, shape them however you want and that's that! Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and they'll last for up to 2 weeks.
Voilà!

why didn't i get to try any of these?!?
haha, you were too late. mom took this batch to the office. make 'em sometime why don-cha!
I finally got around to making these, Kirsten, and they are yummy. I shared some with Jenna who agrees about the taste but wasn't thrilled with my shapes. I wanted them to be more than a bite or I'd eat too many at once. So they are like little logs. Still, this recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear, Patti! I knew you'd enjoy them. The texture allows for sculpting different shapes, which is fun. I'm using your log idea for next time...
