🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
  • 3 tbsp raw honey
  • 2 tbsp desiccated coconut + extra for rolling
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1

Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Stir until everything is evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.

2

Cover bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes — this firms the mixture and makes it much easier to roll.

3

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll between your palms into 12 even balls.

4

Roll each ball in extra desiccated coconut to coat. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

💡 Pro Tips

If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter one teaspoon at a time. Too sticky? Add more oats. Swap chocolate chips for dried cranberries or chopped dates for a different flavour. These also freeze well for up to 3 months!
