Ingredients1 cup quick oats
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
¼ cup each: sunflower seeds, raisins, chopped walnuts, and chopped peanuts or almonds
¼ cup mini M&Ms, sub mini vegan chocolate chips, if needed
¾ cup natural peanut or almond butter
¼ cup maple syrup, can sub honey
Method* Place the oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, walnuts, peanuts or almonds, and the mini M&Ms in a large bowl.
* Add the peanut or almond butter and the maple syrup and mix everything together well. I find it easier to start mixing with a wooden spoon and then use my hands at the end.
* Once the dough comes together, form it into 22 balls. You'll need about 2 tablespoons per ball.
* Store in your fridge for firmer balls and covered on your counter for softer ones.
