No Bake Coconut Cranberry Energy Bites are loaded with nutritious ingredients in a small bite size snack. Peanut butter, oatmeal, coconut, dried cranberries, flax seed, chia seeds and honey give these a sweet, nutty flavor. These make a great toddler snack, or you can pop these in your mouth post workout, when you are running errands, or freeze a batch for later.
No Bake Coconut Cranberry Energy Bites
In my house energy bites are all the rage. And with good reason.
We are on-the-go a lot and with a hungry toddler (and husband) I need to keep quick snacks that are nutritious on hand. Energy bites have been my life saver. The first time I made these was back when I shared these Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Bites with you guys. This was a few months after having Andrew and they were the perfect answer fora sleep deprived, busy family.
You can pop these in your mouth when you are out and about, as a post workout snack or if your toddler wants something a little sweet.
A couple weeks ago I shared another twist on energy bites with these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Prune Dark Chocolate Bites. Another winner in my house.
After I made that batch Will asked me to make more and I knew I needed to switch it up again. Today’s No Bake Coconut Cranberry Energy Bites are the marriage of two really great things: Loaded Oatmeal Cookies and Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Bites. Those Loaded Oatmeal Cookies are one of my favorite cookie recipes. I especially love the dried cranberries and coconut together. I knew I had to bring that pairing into these energy bites.
Each bite has peanut butter, honey, coconut and oatmeal along with dried cranberries, flax seed and chia seeds. These little snack bites are loaded with the good stuff so keep them handy for those extra busy times in your life.

I bet you do! I know I sure do these days. Winter makes me so tired, let alone the kiddos running around my house. Hope you try them and like them.
