Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter of your choice)
- 0.3 cup honey
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup toasted coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, crispy rice cereal, mini chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and toasted coconut flakes. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 2
In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until slightly warm and easily mixable. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 3
Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl.
Step 4
Using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, mix everything together until the dry ingredients are fully coated.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the parchment paper to form small drops. Use your hands or a spoon to gently press them into compact shapes.
Step 7
Chill the drops in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
Step 8
Once set, transfer the drops to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
