This is a healthy take on the traditional no bake cookies. So good and good for you! I am always asked for this recipe every time I make them. They are a hit with the kids and the adults, and always go quick! I store them in the freezer because I think they taste best frozen, but not necessary.

These coconut- and oat-studded bites come together in just one bowl (no food processor required!). Keep them on hand for a healthy morning or afternoon pick-me-up or a satisfying after-school snack. If your family or school is nut-free, follow the sunflower butter option instead of using almond or peanut butter.
