These tasty little oatmeal energy balls are packed with fiber, nutrients, healthy fats and a bit of protein. Truly a guilt-free treat for kids with no added sugar. Just stir all the ingredients together, shape them into a ball and chill for 30 minutes. My little chef is a great fan of peanut butter and chocolate combo, however, I am sure almond butter or cashew butter would taste good too in this recipe. These little treats are my daughter’s favourite after-school snacks along with Date bars, Pineapple banana smoothie, Open-faced sandwich, Strawberry banana milkshake, Coconut date balls.
