The weather continues to be as beautiful as ever! Spring is here, folks. Some friends and I decided to spend this lovely Saturday hiking. We found this 10 mile trail with a constant view of the lake, and all in all it was a great day. We obviously needed some snacks for this trip and in the end we decided to try a twist on the oatmeal cookie. A.k.a…oatmeal cookie energy bites (no bake of course). I have to say these turned out really good and I would make this snack again in a heartbeat. 3 words to describe this snack: easy, healthy and amazing.<\/p>\n

Overall cost: $3.50 (makes a lot)<\/p>\n

Ingredients:
\n-2 cups of rolled oats (.50 cents)
\n-1\/3 cup of shredded almond (.75 cents)
\n-1\/3 cup of honey (.30 cents)
\n-1\/3 cup of chocolate chips (.50 cents)
\n-1\/2 cup of craisans (dried cranberries) (.50 cents)
\n-1\/2 cup of peanut butter (.70 cents)
\n-1 tsp of vanilla extract (.10 cents)<\/p>\n

Directions:
\n1. Add rolled oats, chocolate chips, craisans, and nuts together in mixing bowl<\/p>\n

\n5. Freeze for 30 minutes
\n6. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Overall thoughts: This is a really good take on a mini cookie, and it’s soooooo delicious! A couple of tips for next time is to use mini chocolate chips (not sure why I didn’t see that one coming) Not all the honey and peanut butter is necessarily needed. Add a little bit at a time until you find the right amount and consistency to roll into bites. Overall, a great recipe for spring and summer!
\nHappy Cooking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
