Cranberry Almond Bites

This recipe is one of the most requested in my collection of healthy + sweet indulgences. The best part? It's a no-bake wonder AND it’s freezer-friendly…ensuring an “always on hand” wholesome treat for you and your family. Whether you're looking for an oh-so-satisfying snack or a delightful dessert that won’t make you feel guilty, these bites will actually feed your mind, body, and beauty.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup of dried cranberries

1 cup of raw almonds
1 cup of quick oats (regular oats work too)
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
1/4 cup of cacao nibs
1/2 cup of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a food processor, blend all ingredients until mixture becomes moist and crumbly. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl for an even blend.

Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This brief chill makes it easier to roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into even balls.

STORAGE OPTIONS:

Refrigerated: Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Frozen: To save longer, line the bites on a cookie sheet and place them in the freezer. Once they're frozen through, transfer them to an airtight container and freeze for up to 2-3 months.
