1. 1

   Prepare dry mix

   In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, dried cranberries, mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. Stir to distribute evenly.

2. 2

   Warm wet binder

   In a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, gently warm peanut butter and honey together until smooth and pourable, stirring every 10 seconds if heating in the microwave.

3. 3

   Flavor the binder

   Stir in vanilla extract and salt into the warm peanut butter–honey mixture.

4. 4

   Combine

   Pour the wet binder over the dry mix. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are enveloped and the mixture is cohesive and sticky.

5. 5

   Adjust consistency

   If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add a teaspoon at a time of additional honey or peanut butter until the mixture holds together.

6. 6

   Chill for shape

   Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to settle, then refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to firm up for easy shaping.

7. 7

   Form bites

   Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll between your palms to form compact balls. Yield: approximately 12 bites.

8. 8

   Store

   Keep the energy bites in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 7 days or freeze for longer storage.
