Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats or quick oats
  • 1/2 cup almond or peanut butter creamy
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest optional for lemon flavor
  • 1/4 cup dried blueberries or mini chocolate chips
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut optional for coating

Method
 

Step 1 – Toast the oats (optional):
  1. Heat a dry pan on low and toast oats for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool.
Step 2 – Mix wet ingredients:
  1. In a mixing bowl, stir together almond or peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and lemon zest.
Step 3 – Combine:
  1. Add oats, dried blueberries or chocolate chips, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix everything until it forms a sticky dough.
Step 4 – Chill the mixture:
  1. Put the bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes so the mixture firms up. This helps with rolling.
Step 5 – Roll into balls:
  1. Scoop out about a tablespoon and roll into smooth truffles using your hands.
Step 6 – Coat (optional):
  1. Roll each truffle in shredded coconut or crushed freeze-dried fruit, or leave them plain.
Step 7 – Serve or store:
  1. Eat right away or store in the fridge in an airtight container.

Notes

  • If the dough feels too sticky, add more oats.
  • If it’s too dry, add a spoon of nut butter.
  • For extra flavor, try drizzling some melted dark chocolate on top.
  • They also make a great lunchbox snack—just skip the coconut if your kid’s not into it.
  • You can freeze them and thaw for 5–10 minutes when needed.
