Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (nut-free)
- 0.25 cup Desiccated coconut (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sunflower seed butter, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the chia seeds and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir it thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly spread out.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Mix until they are well incorporated into the dough.
If desired, add the desiccated coconut for additional texture and flavor. Mix well.
Using your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Place the oat balls on a plate lined with parchment paper.
Let the oat balls chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Once set, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
