Recipe Notes
- Feel free to add in 1/4 cup chia, flax or hemp seeds.
- If you like things a bit less sweet, reduce the honey to 1/4 cup or replace with 1/4 cup maple syrup.
- I used regular-sized semisweet chocolate chips and rough chopped them, but mini and dark chocolate chips will also work well.
- Oats are naturally gluten-free, but to be sure, use gluten-free oats.
- The dough is very sticky at the beginning, but once you form the balls, rinse your hands and then press them to make the ingredients stick together better.
Here's how to make it:
- In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients.
- Mix well.
- Form the dough into balls about 1-inch in diameter and press to firmly pack the ingredients together. Place them on a piece of parchment.
- Eat immediately or store in an airtight container in your freezer for up to five days.
