Ingredients

  • cup honey
  • 1 cup gluten free oats I like Trader Joes
  • ½ cup sunbutter I like Trader Joes or Sunbutter Organic brand
  • ¼ cup flaxseed meal
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon alcohol free vanilla
  • ¼-1/2 cup white chocolate pieces (OPTIONAL) Ghirardelli is good

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Honestly, It's easier to use your hands and just mush it all together. 
  • Cover and chill in the fridge for 30 min. If mixture is too sticky, add more oats. If mixture is too dry, add more sunbutter.
  • Form into 1 to 1-½ inch balls and store in the freezer. 

Notes

  • My favorite sunflower seed butter is either Sunbutter Brand or Trader Joe's. See the post for more options, like pumpkin seed butter.
  • If using a sodium free brand, a pinch of salt would work really well in this mixture.
