Drescription

I keep these little bites on hand in my refrigerator and grab them for breakfast or a snack when I'm in a hurry. We have a lot of food allergies in our family and I like to keep healthy snacks around that everyone can eat. This recipe has no gluten, eggs, dairy or corn, so it's the perfect go-to treat in our house.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup almond butter or creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • additional unsweetened shredded coconut, optional

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Roll in additional coconut if desired. Store in the refrigerator.
