Like my homemade granola, these sweet treats are easy to bring along with you when you're out and about (like on a camping trip) or to keep in the refrigerator for a quick, energy-filled snack at home.
The best part is, they're super-easy to make - you just mix them up and they're ready to go!
What You Need:
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup nut/seed butter (I used sun butter on this occasion)
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used these
for this batch)1/3 cup honey (start with this amount and work your way down - I just use 1 Tablespoon for us)
1/4 cup chia seeds
2 Tablespoons hemp powder
1 teaspoon vanilla (although I usually squirt in a bit more)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
What You Do:
1. Dump everything into a large bowl.
2. Mix everything up. I find it's easiest to use my (clean) hands to do this.
3. If you want, squeeze the mixture into cute little bite-sized balls:
4. Or, if you're lazy like I usually am, just smoosh it all into a container and eat it with a spoon:
This is one of our favorite things to have on hand to grab for an easy breakfast, or a tasty snack. I'd love to hear which way you enjoy them best - leave a comment or email me at lisahealy (at) outlook (dot) com.
