Ingredients

Base Recipe

¾ cup (85g) Rolled Oats
½ cup (40g) Desiccated Coconut
1 tablespoon Seeds of Choice chia seeds, flaxseeds, hemp seeds etc
⅓ cup Sunflower Seed Butter
3 tablespoon Honey (add more if you want it sweeter, can replace with maple syrup or sweetener of choice.)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
¼ cup Optional Mix In

Some Mix In Suggestions To Try...

Choc Chip

¼ cup Chocolate Chips

Raisin Cinnamon

¼ cup Raisins
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon

White Choc Cranberry

1 tablespoon Dried cranberries
1 tablespoon White Choc Chips

Chocolate Orange

1 tbsp Orange Zest
1 tbsp Orange Juice
¼ cup Choc Chips
1 tbsp Cocoa Powder

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, including add-ins, stirring until well mixed. Adjust the consistency by adding more oats if it's too wet or additional sunflower butter or honey if it's too dry. Aim for a slightly sticky dough that easily holds together when lightly squeezed.
Divide the dough into balls of your preferred size; for reference, I used a tablespoon to create tablespoon-sized balls. Form the balls by gently squeezing and forming the mixture rather than rolling it.
Place the formed balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

Notes

Store leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Alternatively, add to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months. (They taste great straight from the freezer!)
