Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup crushed almonds
  • 1/3 cup crushed pistachios

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Plastic Wrap or Parchment Paper
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Start by assembling all your ingredients on the counter. This will help streamline the process and ensure you don’t miss anything.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, dried cranberries, crushed almonds, and crushed pistachios. Stir these ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
  3. Next, add the almond butter and honey to the dry mixture. Using a spoon or spatula, mix everything together until all the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.
  4. Once the mixture is combined, use your hands to roll it into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon. If the mixture feels too sticky, you can lightly moisten your hands with water or a bit of oil to make rolling easier.
  5. Place the formed energy balls on a plate or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the balls are formed, cover them with plastic wrap or another piece of parchment paper and place them in the refrigerator. Let them chill for at least 30 minutes to set.
  6. After chilling, your No-Bake Almond Cranberry Energy Balls are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.

Notes

  • Substitute maple syrup for honey for a vegan option.
  • Use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter for a nut-free version.
  • Include chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra boost of omega-3 fatty acids.
