Plus they are the easiest thing to make, and only take a few minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 Cup Gluten Free Oats (I used Bob's Red Mill)
• 2 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter (I used Teddie Natural)
• 1 Tbsp Golden Raisins (Or dried fruit of choice)
• 1 Tbsp Plum Amazins/Diced Prunes (Or dried Fruit of Choice)
• 1 Packet Stevia (Or sweeten to taste)
• 1 tsp Chia Seeds (You can also use Flax if you prefer)
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (I added a little more because I love Cinnamon)
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

 Directions:

    1. Measure all ingredients into a bowl.
    2. Stir really well until the ingredients are combined and make a dough (The dough may seem a little dry, but if you used natural peanut butter, the oil should help bring the dough together. you can add a little more peanut butter if you desire.)

 

     3. The dough should look like the above picture.

     4. Divide the dough into 4 even sections like the picture below.

    5. With clean hands, roll the dough into even balls. Make sure to press the mixture so that it sticks together.

  6. Enjoy!
