Ingredients
Scale
1 cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup cashew butter (smooth and unsweetened)
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
⅓ cup finely chopped cashews
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
2 tbsp caramel bits (or sugar-free caramel chips, if keto-friendly)
Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract or pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1–2 tsp water if needed for texture
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine oats, ground flaxseed, and chopped cashews.
Add cashew butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla if using. Stir until fully mixed.
Fold in caramel bits.
If the mixture is too crumbly, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it holds together.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a tray.
Chill for 20–30 minutes until firm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
