These delightful no-bake bites are a tribute to my Swedish grandmother, who used to make the most incredible lingonberry treats. I still remember the sweet and tart aroma filling her kitchen during the holidays. While these aren't exactly her recipe (which was, of course, a closely guarded secret!), they capture the essence of those flavors in a quick and easy, guilt-free snack. They are so easy to make--honestly, I think a three year old could pull it off. They also make use of simple, easy to find ingredients.
The beauty of these bliss bites lies in their simplicity. With just a handful of ingredients and no baking required, you can whip up a batch in under 30 minutes. Plus, they're packed with wholesome goodness, making them a much healthier alternative to processed snacks. Trust me, once you try them, you'll be hooked! What are you waiting for?

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Get all your ingredients ready. This means measuring out your oats, nuts, and other dry ingredients. It also involves having your lingonberry jam and coconut oil at hand. Trust me, getting everything prepped makes the process so much smoother.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the rolled oats, almonds (or any nuts you like), and shredded coconut. Pulse a few times until the nuts are finely chopped and everything is well combined. Don't over-process; you want some texture!
- Melt Coconut Oil: If your coconut oil is solid, melt it gently. You can do this in the microwave in short bursts or in a saucepan over low heat. Be careful not to overheat it; you just want it to be liquid.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted coconut oil and lingonberry jam into the food processor with the dry ingredients. Pulse until everything is well combined and the mixture starts to stick together. It should form a sort of dough.
- Form the Bites: Take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball. Place the ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture is used up. Try to keep them uniform in size for a nice presentation. Don't worry if they aren't perfect; homemade is charming!
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes. This will help the bites firm up and hold their shape. I usually leave them in for an hour, just to be safe.
- Serve & Enjoy: Once the bites are firm, they're ready to serve! You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week (if they last that long!). They're perfect as a snack, a healthy dessert, or even a little energy boost before a hike.
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more lingonberry jam or coconut oil.
