Recipe Notes

Makes 15-20 balls

Variations:

  • Peanut butter: I love peanut butter in this recipe, but you could also try almond butter, cashew butter or even sunflower seed butter.
  • Shredded coconut: If you don’t like the taste of coconut (though mild in this recipe), try using chia seeds or sunflower seeds instead.
  • Gluten-free: Substitute gluten-free oats.
