Today's feature is oatmeal balls and they are super fun to make with your kids. I'm a member of a moms foodie group on Facebook. We share recipes, workout tips, etc. This recipe was passed around A LOT because it's healthy, quick, and kid friendly. It's basically a no bake oatmeal ball that you customize to your liking. Here is the recipe I follow:
Oatmeal Balls
1 C dry oats (old fashioned or quick)
2/3-1 C toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 C chocolate chips (optional)*
1/2 C creamy or crunchy peanut butter
1/2 C wheat germ or flaxseed
1/3 C honey or maple syrup
1 t vanilla extract
Mix ingredients in large bowl. Let sit in refrigerator for an hour. Shape into balls and store in airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. Makes anywhere from a dozen to two dozen depending on the size.
*I typically don't add the chocolate chips but if you do, feel free to experiment with any chips you like: peanut butter, butterscotch, white chocolate, etc.
