These are perfect little balls of goodness you can snack on all day long. When I first gave one to my daughter, she said, “Cake!” Now she calls them bon bon which is French for candy; her Poppa taught her that one.
In fact, as I uploaded these pictures, Ada came up and exclaimed, “Bon bon!” So I went and grabbed one out of the fridge for her. And one for me too.
These are the healthiest bon bons around! Recipe adapted from Maggie @ Smashed Peas & Carrots.
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy! Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
