- 1 cup whole rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup ground flaxseed
- 2 Tbs almond flour or oat flour
- ½ cup unsweetened unsalted nut butter (almond or peanut)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 Tbs brown rice syrup (It has a great honey like sticky thick consistency.)

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine the dry in a large bowl.
- Combine the wet in a small bowl.
- Add the wet to the dry. Take your rings off and get your hands in there!
- The thing about no-bake balls is all the rolling. So grab a stool and get to work. Especially if you double it like i do. Roll into golf ball-sized balls.
- Store in a lidded container in fridge or freezer. (They last a few weeks in the freezer if your family doesn’t eat them all every day). Can transfer to a freezer bag after they are hard if you prefer.
Enjoy!
