  • 1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup wheat bran
  • 2/3 cup toasted coconut (sweetened)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts
  • 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons chopped dried fruit - raisins, cranberries, cherries, etc.

How To Make peanut butter breakfast balls

  • Step 1
    Beat together the peanut butter, honey and vanilla.
  • Step 2
    Combine the remaining ingredients, except the unsweetened coconut. Mix well and beat into the creamed mixture until well-blended.
  • Step 3
    Roll into one-inch balls and then roll in the unsweetened coconut. (This is more fine than the sweetened coconut inside the balls.)
  • Step 4
    Allow to air dry for a little while and then store in a plastic container in the refrigerator.
