Coconut Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (you can also use almond, cashew, or sunflower butter)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 serving protein powder (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the oats (and optional protein powder) in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and honey.

3. 3

   Add the ground oats to the peanut butter mixture and continue to stir until thoroughly combined.

4. 4

   Using 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time (I like to use a mini ice cream scooper or a spoon), roll into balls or logs.

5. 5

   Place the coconut in a separate bowl or plate and roll the balls in the coconut to completely cover.
