Marissa's MediterraneanA chewy, naturally sweet snack bite packed with fiber and a hint of warm cinnamon. Perfect for tiny hands and busy afternoons!
In a large wooden bowl, stir together the rolled oats, shredded coconut, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon until well combined.
Using a wooden spoon helps keep the oats from sticking too much!
Add the sunflower seed butter and honey to the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.
If the mixture feels too dry, add an extra teaspoon of honey.
Gently fold in the chopped dried cranberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
You can swap cranberries for raisins or even dark chocolate chips!
Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the dough from sticking to your skin.
Place the bites on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let them firm up before serving.
Patience is key here—they taste much better once chilled!
These are a lifesaver for school lunches or that 3 PM energy slump! If you don't have sunflower seed butter, almond butter works beautifully too. For an extra Mediterranean touch, a tiny pinch of sea salt on top really makes the flavors pop. Store them in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for a quick grab-and-go snack.
