Oh are these little nuggets of yumminess SO easy and SO kid friendly! They’re so good, in fact, I could literally pop, like, 10 of them at a time and never look back. You know, except for the fact that even all-natural, clean ingredients do actually have calories, too. (I hate when that happens!)
So this recipe is from Gimme Some Oven, which is an awesome blog to follow if you like clean eating! And bonus for all of your Fixers out there, these are 21 Day Fix approved as a treat! Hip hop hooray!
Here’s the recipe plus the 21 Day Fix container breakdown! Enjoy!
Yields 2 dozen
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats)
- 2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup ground flax seed (don’t use whole flax seeds as they won’t be absorbed into your body as efficiently as ground)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional)
- 1/3 cup honey or agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
- Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.
- Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1″ in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
- Makes about 20-25 balls.
