Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup creamy nut butter (I used cashew butter)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup chopped dried Montmorency tart cherries
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup chopped roasted nuts (I used a mix of cashews and peanuts)
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Stir well for a few minutes until everything is combined well.
- Take 1 to 1.5 Tablespoons of the mixture and roll it between your hands to make a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture. (Wash your hands in cold water a few times throughout to keep the mixture from sticking to them too much).
- Place the balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
- Enjoy, or store in a zip-top bag or other airtight container for up to 2 wees.
