These no-bake bites combine rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, and dried cranberries with fresh orange zest for a tangy-sweet snack. A quick chill firms them up for grab-and-go breakfasts or post-workout fuel. They come together in one bowl with no oven required.

Ingredients

  • 1 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cups vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cups dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cups natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cups honey
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cups ground flaxseed

Method

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, protein powder, chopped dried cranberries, ground flaxseed, and salt until evenly combined.

  2. Add the peanut butter, honey, orange zest, and orange juice to the dry mixture and stir with a sturdy spoon until a thick, cohesive dough forms.

  3. If the dough seems too dry to hold together, mix in an extra tablespoon of orange juice; if too wet, add a tablespoon more oats.

  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes to firm up for easier rolling.

  5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per bite and roll firmly between your palms into a smooth ball, placing each on a parchment-lined tray.

  6. Refrigerate the rolled bites for at least 45 minutes to set before serving.

  7. Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
