I am always looking for healthy, kid-friendly snacks. This is a snack made out of super and wholesome foods. I had all of the ingredients in my cupboard, so naturally I made them right away. This is a snack everyone in your house is sure to enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats)
- 2/3 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes (to toast coconut flakes turn the stove on to medium. Stir the coconut continuously because it cooks quickly. Once most of the coconut is light brown in color it is done)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ ( I used 1/4c of each)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/3 cup natural or local honey
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. 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.
