Base Ingredients

For Rolling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine the Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, oats, and honey. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated and form a sticky dough.

  2. 2

    Add the Mix-ins

    Fold in the chopped walnuts, dark chocolate chips, and dried cranberries into the mixture. Ensure that all add-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Forming the Balls

  1. 3

    Shape the Mixture

    Using your hands, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat the process until all of the mixture is used.

  2. 4

    Coat with Coconut Flakes

    Roll each ball in the coconut flakes until completely coated. This will give the Nutty Buddy a delicious exterior.

Chill and Serve

  1. 5

    Chill the Balls

    Place the coated Nutty Buddies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Once chilled, serve the Nutty Buddies as a healthy snack or dessert. Enjoy!
