Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
  • 3 tbsp flaxseed meal
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oats, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, and ginger.
  • Add pecans. Coat pecans with dry ingredients.
  • Add honey and peanut butter. Mix well. It is going to be sticky. If it is too sticky, put the mixture in the fridge for 5 minutes.
  • With a small cookie scoop, scoop out the mixture 1 ball at a time and put on a lined cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Once you have all your balls, put them in the freezer for 5 minutes until they harden and ready to serve.

Notes

They store well in the fridge for one week. If you store them in the freezer, they should last up to 3 months but they are so good that I doubt they will last that long!
When I form the balls, I put them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet because when you put them in the freezer, they will be much easier to take off the sheet to transfer to a close.
If you cannot find flaxseed meal, but you have flaxseed it’s ok. Just grind them in an herb grinder or I often use my Ninja individual blender.
Spray the measuring cup with cooking spray before adding the honey. When you pour it into the mixture, the honey will slide right out.
