Nut Butter Balls

April28
These are such a yummy treat.  Full of protein yet sweet enough to curb that sweet tooth.  My husband and I like to eat one as a sweet bedtime treat after we put the kids in bed.  However, beware as they are quite addictive.

Recipe: Nut Butter Balls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural peanut or almond butter
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seed
  • 2-1/2 – 3 cups gluten free oats
  • 1/2 cup nuts or seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, or any combination of other nuts)
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit (try raisins or cranberries)
  • 1/2 shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)
  • 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix nut butter and honey together well in a medium sized bowl.
  2. Stir in flax seed.
  3. Next gradually stir in oats until the consistency is no longer too sticky.
  4. Add all remaining ingredients and stir well. Roll into small balls and refrigerate.
  5. Keep in fridge or freezer to help maintain shape.
