🧂 Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned oats

or quinoa flakes [https://amzn.to/3tsntzg], see note
½ cup ground flaxseed
3 tablespoons brewer’s yeast

or nutritional yeast
1 cup almond butter
⅓ cup honey

or less
2 teaspoons ground fennel
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup chopped dried cherries

or apricots
1 tablespoon avocado oil or water

as needed

Instructions

1 In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the ingredients. If your nut butter is
rather firm, you may need to knead everything together by hand at the end. Or,
if you have a stand mixer [https://amzn.to/3GnvM2W], stir all the ingredients
except the dried cherries and mix on low speed until everything is well
combined.
2 If needed, add a tablespoonful or so of avocado oil [https://amzn.to/41b18Ed] or
water to hold the dough together.
3 Fold or knead in the dried cherries.
4 Roll mixture into 2-tablespoon-sized smooth balls and place on a tray. Place in
the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set (or enjoy right away). Letting the balls
sit will hydrate the oats a bit.
5 Once the bites have set, transfer them to an air-tight container and store in
the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
