Oatmeal Cookie Energy Bites instructions

1. As you can see above, I have made a few recommendations to choose for the nuts. I went with cashews... but if you can get your hands on walnuts or pecans go for that!... Take about a cup of cashews and grind it to a powdered texture in a food processor or blender. I used my spice grinder..
2. Next grab a big bowl, and add all the dry ingredients one by one: Ground nuts, the oats, raisins and cranberries, cinnamon and nutmeg. I LOVE cranberries, so I decided to go with a mix of raisins and cranberries, you can just use raisins if you can't find cranberries or vice versa. Definitely make sure you use old fashioned oats and not instant oats :).
3. Add the honey and peanut butter (I went with crunchy, but smooth works too) and mix well until completely blended. I used a spatula but you can use a electric mixer... I just couldn't be bothered!.
4. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and roll into 1 inch balls. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge..
