Oatmeal Balls

A friend brought these over when we had her family over for vegan pizza night. I could eat these all day long, but they are so sweet that I try to save them for dessert, though they are probably healthy enough to eat for breakfast. We sent some home with mom and dad, who both liked them a lot.  They are from this blog.

No-bake oatmeal balls
makes about 20 balls (at least, I imagine it would make that many, but the batter never lasts long enough for me to find out, which is the same reason I'm not posting a picture.)

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter, we use no-sugar PB)

1/3 cup honey

1 cup coconut flakes (we use unsweetened)

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (I've never used these, but will occasionally put in some cocoa powder or regular-sized vegan chocolate chips. Yum!)

1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy! Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
