These no-bake trail snacks may taste indulgent, but their synergistic combination of carbs, protein and unsaturated fat make them an ideal munchie for winter snowshoeing.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 12 balls
- ¾ c. old-fashioned oats
- ¼ c. crunchy peanut butter
- 2 T. maple syrup
- ¼ c. dried cranberries
- ¼ c. finely chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover the mixture and allow to chill in the fridge for at least 30 min.
Roll the mixture into 1-in. balls. Place the balls in a covered container and return to the fridge for another 30 min. to set.
Alternatively, you can press spoonfuls of the mixture (no chilling required) into the bottoms of a mini muffin pan. Then pop the pan in the freezer for about 20 min. Use a fork to remove the disc-shaped treats and store in the fridge.
