Ingredients
- 4 cup peanuts
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 4 tablespoon water
- 4 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate nibs
- 1/4 cup seeds, flaxseed [usda:12220]
- 2 cup dried cherries
- 1 cup goji berries, dried [usda:9110]
- chocolate sauce (optional)

Directions
- Make peanut butter by grinding peanuts in a food processor until smooth. Be sure to stop and scrape the sides of the bowl halfway through.
- Slowly add coconut oil and water to achieve desired consistency.
- Pour peanut butter into a large bowl and add dried cherries to the food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Combine the peanut butter, cherries, oats, dark chocolate nibs and flax seeds by hand and mix until incorporated.
- Spread the mixture onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and press down until even. Or, roll the mixture into small golf ball-sized balls and line up on sheet tray.
- Sprinkle the goji berries on the bars or roll goji berries onto the balls. Add any other toppings of your choice. (Toasted coconut or chocolate drizzle are suggested.)
- Freeze overnight. Remove from freezer and cut bars into smaller squares.
- Store in the freezer and remove one hour before enjoying.
