No-Bake Low FODMAP Cranberry Almond Snack Balls
These No-Bake Low FODMAP Cranberry Almond Snack Balls are a wholesome, delicious treat perfect for an on-the-go snack or a midday pick-me-up. Packed with the crunch of almonds, tart cranberries, and the natural sweetness of maple syrup, they’re easy to make, require no baking, and fit seamlessly into a low FODMAP lifestyle.
Instructions
Prepare the Base
Place the rolled oats and almond butter in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the oats are coarsely ground and mixed with the almond butter.
Add the Flavorful Ingredients
Add the maple syrup, shredded coconut, chopped cranberries, chopped almonds, cinnamon, and optional salt to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is combined.
Check Consistency
If the mixture seems too dry, add more maple syrup, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a slightly sticky consistency that’s easy to roll.
Roll into Balls
Using clean hands, take a small amount of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and roll it into a ball about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Chill to Set
Place the tray in the refrigerator or freezer for 30 minutes until the balls are firm and no longer sticky.
Store and Enjoy
Transfer the snack balls to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or the freezer for up to 1 month. Allow frozen balls to thaw for a minute or two before enjoying.
Tips and Low FODMAP notes
- Cranberries
- Keep the serving size of dried cranberries to 1 tablespoon (13 grams) per portion (6 balls) to remain within low FODMAP limits.
- Nut-Free Option
- Substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter and almonds with pumpkin seeds for a nut-free version.
- Oats
- For a finer texture, process the oats longer before adding other ingredients.
