No-Bake Energy Bites with Oats and Dried Cherries image

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.

I'm not a big fan of energy bites, but these were actually pretty good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice chewy texture.
