Ingredients

Optional Add-Ins

• Mini chocolate chips
• Shredded coconut
• Chopped nuts
• Dried fruit

Instructions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Remove the blade from the food processor, if using. Add any add-in ingredients, and mix with your hands until evenly combined.
5. Roll the dough into small balls (I use my small cookie scoop - #60) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
6. Refrigerate until set. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for 1 to 2 months.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
