Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 6 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 1/3 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
  • 1 cup flaxseeds finely ground
  • dash of sea salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips optional but highly encouraged
  • 1 cup additions (combination of any of the following: finely chopped dates, raisins, cranberries, coarsely ground pecans, coarsely ground almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds) optional
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, ground flaxseed, chocolate chips and any other additions (if using) and salt. In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey, coconut oil and vanilla extract.

  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well until completely combined. I typically begin with a wooden spoon and finish with my hands. Roll into approximately 2" balls and place the baking sheet in the fridge or freezer to chill and set. Once the balls are set store in a sealed container in the fridge.
