These no-bake bites combine shelled pistachios, dried cherries, and oats bound with nut butter and honey for a chewy, naturally sweetened snack. They come together in minutes with no oven required, making them a convenient option for lunchboxes, post-workout fuel, or a quick afternoon snack. Chilling firms them up for a satisfying, dense bite with pops of tart fruit and crunchy nuts throughout.

Ingredients

  • 1 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cups shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cups dried cherries, chopped
  • 1/2 cups creamy almond butter
  • 1/3 cups honey
  • 1/4 cups ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, finely chopped, for coating

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pistachios, dried cherries, and ground flaxseed.

  2. Add the almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir with a sturdy spoon until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky.

  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to roll.

  4. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions and roll between your palms into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

  5. Spread the finely chopped pistachios on a plate and roll each ball lightly to coat the outside.

  6. Arrange the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes.

  7. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
