Here’s a recipe for a quick summer treat. We take these to the lake and camping, but only when I have a cooler to keep them in. This recipe makes about 24 one-inch balls.
Ingredients:
- 2 C rolled oats
- 1/2 natural nut butter (I use peanut or almond, but cashew is yummy if you feel like splurging)
- 1/3 C honey
- 1/2 C mini chocolate chips
Mix all together and then chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. If you skip this step, you’ll be dealing with a big sticky mess that won’t roll into balls. I know this because someone I know (perhaps me) has tried. If making these is a last-minute decision, an option is to put portions in individual containers in your cooler and take some spoons. Yes, I’ve done that.
If you planned ahead and had time to refrigerate the dough, you can now easily roll it into balls and then put them in your refrigerator or cooler. I store them with wax paper between the layers.
Enjoy!
