These are my favorite, easy, go-to snack. Who doesn’t love a good no bake recipe? They literally take 5 minutes to make and I just keep them in the refrigerator. I’ve made these with peanut butter (you can see my Peanut Butter Oat Flax Bites), cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, cranberries, diced nuts…the possibilities are endless. But I love the taste of almond butter. These are perfect for pre or post-workout, afternoon snack or treat for your kids’ lunch boxes. I almost consider them like a cookie or dessert, they are delicious. But unlike other cookie recipes, these are quick and easy to make.

Still good!
