Kori's Tips

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes check out my post above.
TIPS: Chill before rolling so the mixture firms up; add a bit more oats if too sticky or a splash of warm water if too dry, and be sure the peanut butter is well stirred.
VARIATIONS: Swap in almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter, and mix in chia seeds, hemp seeds, coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruit, or sugar-free chocolate chips.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve as a grab-and-go snack, a quick bite before or after workouts, or tuck a couple into lunch boxes or the freezer for easy healthy snacks.
