Ingredients:
- 1.5 cup quick steel cut oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
(I use a natural version; you can also substitute other nut or seed butters)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened, lightly toasted
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground wheat germ or flax seed
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for adult version)
Method:
- Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Grind oats in a food processor or Vitamix blender. If making the adult version, you can leave half of the oats whole. Mix together peanut butter and honey. Mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl until blended.
- Using a mini ice cream scoop or spoon, form small balls (about 1 tsp) out of the mixture and place on the sheet pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- To Freeze: Place bites on a sheet tray into the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove, place in a ziplock bag, and put bag in freezer. Will be good for up to 3 months.
