Notes
- serving size is one ball
- you can use any sticky sweetener of your choice like agave, honey, or maple syrup. There are many low-calorie options out there to choose from as well.
- Use rolled oats. Quick oats will work too if that's what you have on hand.
- try using sugar-free or dark chocolate chips
- Any nut butter will work. We used cashew butter but almond butter and cashew butter are great substitutes
