Notes
- If you are adding in things like chocolate chips or raisins, these need to be done after the other ingredients have been blended. They will make it difficult to roll the balls though.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and roll them into balls so they are all the same size.
- To make sure these are gluten free, use gluten free certified oats.
- For a little extra flavour boost, sprinkle them with a little sea salt.
- To make these look even nicer, roll them in desiccated coconut once they are rolled into balls.
- The texture of these will depend on how 'drippy' your nut butter is. If they feel a bit dry, you can add a little more water.
- To ensure this recipe is definitely gluten free, use oats that are certified gluten free.
