1 c. certified gluten free oats
½ c. unsweetened coconut, toasted
¼ c. cocoa powder
1 T. chia seeds
½ c. flaxseed meal
⅓ c. raw honey
½ c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 T. coconut oil, melted
In a large bowl, mix together oats, coconut, cocoa powder, chia seeds and flaxseed meal. In a separate bowl, stir together honey, softened butter, vanilla extract and melted coconut oil. Pour over the oat mixture and mix well to completely combine. If the mixture feels too dry, add a bit more honey. The mixture will be too soft to roll into balls. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, then roll into 24 balls, about the size of a ping pong ball.
