HOW TO MAKE ALMOND BUTTER & OAT NO-BAKE COOKIE BITES
Melt almond butter and coconut oil together, remove from heat.
Add honey and vanilla, stir in chocolate chips until melted, then stir in oats, cocoa powder, almonds, and cranberries. For chocolate chips that don’t contain sugar, try Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips. They’re sweetened with natural stevia and have delicious rich flavor.
Scoop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper OR scoop into mini cupcake pans sprayed with non-stick spray.
Chill before serving and store in fridge.

This is amazing! Bu don’t we need to cook oats or are they instant oats?

You can use instant or old-fashioned oats. Instant can sometimes help them stick together better, but my family likes the crunchier texture of old-fashioned oats. Maybe start with what you think you’d prefer and try the other another time? Let us know how it goes 🙂
