Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 cup ground flaxseed
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup M&Ms
Wet Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz.) jar peanut butter (approximately 1.5 cups)
- 1 cup honey
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- Toast Coconut: If your coconut flakes aren’t already toasted, spread them evenly on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until golden and fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Let cool.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted coconut, quick oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and M&Ms. Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or use an electric stand mixer to ensure everything is well combined.
- Shape Balls: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture and roll into approximately 40 small fiber balls with your hands. Make sure they are compact to hold their shape.
- Serve and Enjoy: No baking needed! Your fiber balls are ready to eat immediately or you can refrigerate them for firmer texture. Store in an airtight container for up to a week for a quick, healthy snack anytime.
Notes
- Toasting the coconut flakes enhances the flavor and crunch but can be skipped if already toasted.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any nut butter of choice.
- Add-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit can be used instead of M&Ms for a different flavor profile.
- Store fiber balls in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
- These fiber balls are perfect for on-the-go snacks or lunchbox treats.
