No Bake Peanut Butter Oat bites


Ingredients:
              • 1 cup Dry Oatmeal
              • 1 cup Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
              • 1/2 cup Dried cranberries**
              • 1/2 cup Peanut butter
              • 1/2 cup Ground flaxseed
              • 1/3 cup Honey (Agave or some sort of sugary syrup type substitute for vegans..may need a little more though than honey)
              • 1 tsp Vanilla


**You can substitute the cranberries for anything you like!
Some examples are:
-Chocolate Chips
-Peanut butter chips
-Almond pieces
-Pecan halves
-Sunflower seeds
-Dried apricots
-Dried blueberries
-Etc.

Based on a recipe posted by Ali on "Gimme Some Oven"

Mix together coconut, oats and flaxseed

Add your special ingredient (mine was cranberries)

Oh, oops! Looks like I added my flaxseed after the cranberries, not with the oats and coconut. Not that it matters, its all dry stuff.

Mix it up.

Add the peanut butter

And the honey

And the vanilla.

Mix it all really well (better than shown in this picture)
Then put the mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Take it out of the fridge and roll it into about 24 balls.
OR you can flatten it out and cut it into bars. Either way works.
I took the balls and stuck them in my freezer after - I like them hard like that :)
