  • Number of Servings: 15
Ingredients
1 cup oatmeal1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)1/3 cup honey1 cup coconut flakes1/2 cup ground flaxseed1/2 cup mini chocolate chips *I prefer karobs & they are healthier*1 tsp vanilla
Directions
Alright, let's start with that gooey peanut butter, honey and some oatmeal and pour them into your mixing bowl.

Then add in a cup of coconut flakes, sweetened or unsweetened...your call.

Then you can add in your mix-ins. I like to keep these somewhat healthy so I add mini-vegan chocolate chips and ground flaxseed. But you could also add in some chopped nuts, dates, raisins and even switch out the flaxseed to wheat bran or something similar or even cocoa powder.

Then add in a teaspoon (or two) of vanilla
Mix it all up and let it chill in your refrigerator for about a half hour.

Then roll into balls and enjoy your little bites of heaven...or energy...depending on what you put in them!

    You can really put whatever you want in these - I did oatmeal, flaxseed, quinoa, almond meal, and dried cranberries. Didn't put in the vanilla or salt though, definitely doing that next time. And some cinnamon, because EVERYTHING is better with cinnamon! - 3/9/15

    I mixed my dry ingredients, then added the honey/peanut butter (which I warmed up in the microwave). I didn't have to chill, they rolled up nicely. :) thanks! - 1/20/13
