Chips and crackers are convenient snacking options, but they’re loaded with salt, carbs and empty calories.

And they’re easy to make with only four ingredients — all common pantry staples.
1 cup dry oats
1 cup pitted dates (or raisins)
1 cup raw, soaked cashews (or any nut variety you have on hand)
2 tablespoons almond or peanut butter
