The ultimate snack or breakfast. These have been a staple in my house for years. We never get tired of these! Much better than a cereal because of their good protein & fat to sustain your energy, and don't raise blood sugar as much as a typical cereal.

Peanoat Balls

prep time: 30 minutes

Ingredients (for 20 balls):

• 1.5 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter)

• 0.5 cup chestnut paste (ground chestnuts)

• 2 cups rolled oats or quick cooking oats

• 1/2 cup honey

• 2 Tbsp chia seeds

• optional: 160 g or 1 cup dark chocolate chunks

Directions:

• Mix the ingredients, roll into balls, and enjoy.

• Store in Fridge.

Note: If you don't like peanut butter, use any nut or seed butter. I usually mix peanut butter, almond butter, and have even added chestnuts for a different flavor and nutrient profile. I buy jarred chestnuts & grind them up. If omitting chestnuts, add ½ cup more nut butter, to make the recipe 2 cups of nut butter.
