Breakfast is one of these meals that can be hard to fit in, especially if you have a busy morning. These oatmeal breakfast balls are not only a great grab-and-go breakfast and snack; they are loaded with healthy ingredients.
Oatmeal Breakfast Balls
I wanted to make something that I could grab for breakfast, a quick snack, and just sweet enough to satisfy a sweet tooth if needed.
I have made several versions of these in the past, but this time around I put a lot of focus on the ingredients I put into them, and I’m really happy with how they turned out. I hope you like them too, and you can keep them in a Ziploc bag and store them in the fridge.
Ingredients:
- Instant oats
- Peanut butter
- Honey
- Unsweetened coconut flakes
- Dried cranberries
- Chia seed
- Cocoa powder
- Coconut oil
Directions:
There is not a whole lot to making these oatmeal breakfast balls. I tried to get a few pictures of the process, but they didn’t turn out well. Thankfully, there is not a lot to making these, so I think you’ll be fine without too many in-process photos.
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend together. You might have to scrape the sides of the blender a few times.
Remove from the blender, and roll the ingredients into balls. I rolled mine into balls a little smaller than a golf ball and got about 24 balls.
That’s it; you can place them in a baggie or an airtight container and toss them in the fridge.
You can also customize them, by adding just about anything your taste buds like—almonds, chocolate chips, other dried fruit, etc. If you decide to add chocolate chips, I would definitely add them after you blend the ingredients, and the mini chocolate chips would probably work best for these.
