These balls are like Clif Bars, but in ball form, so they are easier to form and transport.

Notes

Variations:

Make them in bulk and keep them in the freezer.
Add ‘superfoods’ like chlorella or acai powder to up the nutritional content.
Vary the spices, dried fruit, and nut butters to your heart’s content.
Substitute dried fruit for chocolate chips
Roll your ‘ball’ in dried coconut, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder or even more decadent, dip half (or all) in melted chocolate, place on parchment paper, and put in the freezer until hard.

1 cup rolled oats
½ cup almond butter
¼ cup ground flax seed
2 tablespoons dried fruit
