Cranberry Energy Bites No Bake
- be sure to use gluten free rolled oats if you have a gluten sensitivity – I use Bob’s Red Mill
- the peanut butter / almond butter can be swapped out for any nut or seed butter you like – peanut butter, sunbutter, cashew butter or pumpkin seed butter would work as well
- shredded coconut can be left out if you’re not a fan – just use extra oats, almond flour, oat flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill), groundflax or protein powder instead
