Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1/3 cup ground flaxseed meal (see note)

2/3 to 1 cup nut butter (see note)

1/4 cup honey

Dash of vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Mini chocolate chips

Shredded coconut

Chopped nuts

Dried fruit

Directions

In a food processor, add the oats and process until coarsely chopped. If you don't have a food processor coarsely chop the oats in a blender and transfer to a bowl.

Add the flaxseed meal, nut butter, honey, vanilla and salt. Process/mix until the mixture comes together into a soft but not overly sticky ball.

If the mixture is overly dry, add nut butter a tablespoon at a time and process/mix until the consistency is soft but not overly sticky or crumbly.

Remove the blade from the food processor, if using. Add any add-in ingredients, and mix with your hands until evenly combined.

Roll the dough into small balls (I use my small cookie scoop - #60) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.

Refrigerate until set. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for 1 to 2 months.
