Sweet Tooth

I have always had a sweet tooth, but I have found that all the desserts I come across lately are chock full of crap. So yesterday I set out to work to make a great clean dessert that everyone will love.

Oats and Crannie Balls Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups oats

1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup almond slivers

1/4 cup sunflower seeds (no shells)

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 Jar organic peanut butter

In a blender or food processor combine oats, sunflower seeds, almonds and chocolate chips. Blend until finely chopped and then slowly add in cranberries until they are finely chopped as well. Add vanilla extract and mix for 10 seconds. Take mixture and put into a large mixing bowl. Slowly add a cup of organic peanut butter (make sure it is mixed well with the oil on the top of the jar). Since different brands of peanut butter have different consistencies you may need to use more. The mixture should be a large sticky, firm ball. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes take out the mixture and start balling into 1 inch balls. Place on cookie sheet and let the firm up in the fridge for a few hours. Enjoy!

You may replace almonds with any nut, cranberries with raisins and add coconut.
