I love these as a quick energy snack. I keep them in the refrigerator almost all the time. They are sweet enough to make me feel like I am getting a treat, but they have enough good stuff to help with energy fixes and muscle recovery. Store in the refrigerator.

  • Scoop dough into smalls balls onto a plate. Chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 30 minutes.

Cook's Note:

If the air temperature is too warm and the dough too gooey, place the dough in the refrigerator for an hour to let it set up, which will make it easier to form balls and have them hold their shape.

Have made these three times and will make again today since they serve a few special purposes in our house; son uses them for grab and go energy before a workout; treat for my friend who's gluten-dairy sensitive when everyone else gets brownies for dessert; actually hide my mom's one medication in a room temperature ball since she won't swallow her pill.

I used more flax seed meal in place of some of the oats. I also used raw sunflower seeds instead of pecans. I call these squirrel cookies they are delicious I eat them for a power burst at breakfast! Read More

These are an excellent snack. They really taste great. I had to substitute mint choc chips and I added some unsweetened coconut. Would make these again for sure! Read More

These are the best. So easy to make and pleased even my picky eater. I didn't have enough chocolate chips so I chopped up 2/3 cup in the food processor and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing this recipe is a keeper! Read More
