Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy unsweetened almond butter (or peanut butter)
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Brewer's yeast (optional)
- ¼ cup dried cranberries, raisins, or mini chocolate chips
- Shredded unsweetened coconut, optional
Instructions

- Stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon or stiff spatula.
- Use a tablespoon-size measuring spoon or mini ice cream scoop to portion and roll into balls.
- Optional: Roll in shredded unsweetened coconut for more flavor and texture.
- Serve or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a month.
Notes
- To store, place in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a month. Let sit at room temperature to soften slightly if needed for your toddler.
- Cut the dried cranberries in half if they are very large so they are easier for the kids to bite into and chew.
- Warm the almond butter and honey as needed so they are easy to stir into the other ingredients.
- Replace 2 tablespoons of the oats with hemp seeds or protein powder for more protein.
