1 cup dry oatmeal (I used old fashioned oats)
1/2 cup coconut flakes (original recipe calls for unsweetened)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice, I've used sun butter and it was delicious)
1/2 cup ground flax seed (I only use 1/4 cup cause too much makes it "grainy")
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl.
Chill for a 1/2 hour in the fridge.
Roll into balls (about 1inch)
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Some variations:
add 1 tsp of ground chia seeds to the mix
Add sprinkles (or jimmies) to jazz them up
Add chopped walnuts (1/4 cup) to the mix for a crunch (this is how I like them)
I serve them with a glass of milk and apple slices.
*edited to add, since these contain honey I don't give them to any kiddo under 1 year. You can use agave if you prefer.
