Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 1 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 3-4 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 3/4 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Optional: 2 tbsp chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Add the coconut to a saute pan and heat over low/medium heat. After about 2 minutes the coconut will start to brown.
  • Do not take your eyes off of it since it burns very quickly!! Once it is golden brown, add it to the food processor. 
  • Add all remaining ingredients to the food processor.
  • Pulse a few times, scrape down the sides and pulse again. You don't want everything to get completely broken up, just made into fine, smaller pieces. If the mixture is too wet, add more oats, if it's too dry, add more nut butter or honey/maple syrup. 
  • If using chocolate chips, add them now and pulse a few times until they are spread throughout the "batter."
  • Use a small cookie scoop or spoon and roll into balls with your hands. If you're using the chocolate chips, you sometimes need to pat them into the mixture so they don't fall out. You can lightly squeeze everything together and then roll into a ball.
  • Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours, then enjoy!
