In my hunt for more snack foods, I have always been intrigued by all the ball recipes I see on the web. I have posted a few of my own recipes over the last year. ( Check these balls out and these are super yummy too.) I like to try to make all my balls bursting with flavor while still including lots of amazing, energy producing ingredients. My latest ball incantation meets all these requirements.
I love that these balls include energy producing, fiber filled Bob’s Red Mill Oats , Omega-3 rich Raw Chia Seeds
Here are all the healthy ingredients mixed up and ready to head into the fridge to help them stick together. Putting them in the fridge for about 30 minutes is key to helping them hold together. I definitely advised making sure you don’t skip this step!!
I found it was easiest to squeeze the dough into balls instead of trying to roll them. They don’t look too pretty but they sure taste good.
