Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup oats (old-fashioned)
- 1/2 cup rice crisp cereal (brown rice kind)
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup nut butter (a mix of both almond butter and peanut butter is really good, can use any nut butter you want)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (can substitute dried blueberries or raisins or Craisins)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Toast coconut in a small skillet over medium heat, 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally and being careful not to burn it. It's done when some of the flakes are lightly golden.
-
Step 2: In a medium bowl, stir together toasted coconut, oats, brown rice cereal, flaxseed, and cinnamon.
-
Step 3: In a bow', mix the nut butter, honey, and vanilla. Pour over oat mixture and stir until everything is well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
-
Step 4: Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
-
Step 5: Use a small scoop, spoon, or your hands to scoop mixture and form into balls. I usually press the mixture into a ball using my palm, rather than rolling it.
-
Step 6: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
