Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup whole organic flax seed
- 1 cup dried blueberries or 2 pints fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 scoop protein powder, totally optional
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 3 tablespoons Pichuberry Puree
- 1 cup cashew or cookie butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- If using fresh blueberries, you'll need to dry them in the oven. If using already dried blueberries, skip step below.Wash blueberries and pat dry with paper towel. Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper then spread blueberries on baking sheets without the blueberries touching. Bake in oven for 4 hours. In a large bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, flax seed, dried blueberries, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, cinnamon and protein powder if using. Whisk to combine ingredients. Add in honey, Pichuberry Puree, cashew butter, and vanilla extract. Mix ingredients well with a spatula or your hands. Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to scoop mixture. I used a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop. Make sure to make a hard scoop, pressing scoop hard against bowl so the oatmeal mixture is packed into scoop. This will make it easier to roll and form.Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. You may wash hands and dry after every couple balls are formed. This makes it easier to roll and compact mixture.Allow to set on cookie sheet for 1 hour or place in freezer for 30 minutes. Store in air-tight container. Maybe be good for weeks. These can also be frozen.
Notes
*VEGAN option - replace raw honey with pure maple syrup.
