Description
These no-bake oatmeal bites with red berries and peanut butter plus a chocolate drizzle on top are almost like having a peanut butter oatmeal cookie without baking.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cups Dried Red Berries (cranberries, Cherries, Strawberries…)
- 1 cup Oats
- 3 Tablespoons Peanut Butter
- 3 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil
- ¼ cups Chocolate Or Chocolate Chips
Preparation
1. Start by coarsely chopping the berries. Place berries and oats in a bowl. Add peanut butter, honey and liquid coconut oil (here in Thailand it is liquid at room temperature but you might have to melt it).
2. Stir everything together. You can use a spoon but by hand it is much easier. Once everything is nicely combined chill mixture in the fridge for 1/2 hour or 10 minutes in the freezer box.
3. Shape chilled mixture into round bites of about 1″ diameter and put them on a tray. Recipe yields about 12 bites. Place the oatmeal bites back in the fridge.
4. In the meantime chop or break the chocolate into small pieces (only if using a chocolate bar) and melt in the microwave or a water bath. If you melt it in the microwave, do so in 30 second heat bursts stirring in between bursts. Drizzle melted chocolate over chilled bites.
5. Here in Thailand I have to keep the bites in the fridge, but if you live in a cooler climate they might be just fine at room temperature.
