Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (99 g) old-fashioned oats, preferably lightly toasted; use gluten-free if following a gluten-free diet
  • 1/2 cup (135 g) natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons honey or rice syrup
  • 1/4 cup (18 g) unsweetened coconut shreds
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) dried cranberries roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup (42 g) raisins roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) pecan or walnut halves finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup (50 g) miniature chocolate chips or mini M&Ms

Preparation:

  1. Place oats, PB, maple syrup, honey, coconut, cranberries, raisins, nuts and seeds in a bowl and stir together very well with a sturdy wooden spoon, large, firm silicone spatula or your hands until thoroughly combined. We like to use our stand mixer fitted with the flat paddle and highly recommend this approach. Once the mixture is thoroughly and evenly combined, fold in the chocolate chips or M&Ms.
  2. Roll the mixture into small, bite-size balls about 1-inch (2.5 cm) across. We use a tiny scoop to help the process. If the mixture is too soft, simply cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze up to 1 month.

Tips

  • If you are going to toast the oats, position rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Pour oats out onto a rimmed sheet pan. Bake for about 7 to 8 minutes or just until they take on the faintest amount of color and a toasty aroma emanates from the oven. Set pan on rack to cool completely.
