Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats)
• ⅔ cup coconut flakes -- if you dont have this just add an additional ⅔ c. oatmeal
• ½ cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ -- if you dont have this just add an additional ½ c. oatmeal
• ½ cup peanut butter
• ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
• ½ cup chocolate chips/raisins/dried cranberries (optional)
• 1 tsp. cocoa (optional)

Directions

• 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 15-20 balls.  I calculate them to be about 100 calories each, which in my opinion, is high-calorie!  But, one or two will fill me up so I just limit how many I eat :).
