- ⅓ cup dried cherries
- 1 scoop collagen peptides or protein powder (optional)

Notes
If your oatmeal bite mixture is too dry, as in it won't stick together when you squeeze it together, you can add in a tablespoon more of peanut butter at a time. Alternatively if it is too sticky, add in 1/4 cup of oats at a time until it is workable enough.
