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 the coconut flakes: If your coconut flakes are not already toasted, spread them evenly on a baking sheet and lightly toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, stirring once to ensure even toasting. Let cool before using.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted coconut flakes, 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 on low speed until all ingredients are fully combined and form a sticky mixture.
- Form the fiber balls: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into approximately 40 small fiber balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Ensure they are packed well to hold together.
- Serve and store: Enjoy the fiber balls immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week for the best texture and freshness.
Notes
- Toasting the coconut flakes enhances their flavor and adds a crunchier texture.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nutty taste.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- If you prefer a lower sugar option, omit the M&Ms or replace with unsweetened dried fruit.
- These fiber balls make a great grab-and-go snack or a healthy addition to lunchboxes.
