Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup sunflower butter
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 3-4 tablespoons maple syrup
- butter to coat hands
- 1/2 cup chocolate covered sunflower seeds optional, but recommended
Instructions
- Combine 2 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup sunflower butter, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, and 3-4 tablespoons maple syrup in large bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Coat palms of hands liberally with butter. Grab a small handful of the mixture and squeeze and shape into a ball. Repeat until finished.
- Optional: roll finished ball in 1/2 cup chocolate covered sunflower seeds. I had a very hard time getting them to stick, so another option would be to incorporate them into the mixture.
- Store at room temperature in an air tight container.
