If you are looking for breakfast on the run, you just found it! These balls are an absolute lifesaver. Keep a batch in the freezer and you will never be without something for breakfast again.
They are so versatile and can be adapted to suit any nutritional need or taste preference. For a gluten-free option, use quinoa flakes instead of oats. If a nut-free option is required, instead of almond meal, use a little oat flour or rice flour, or just leave it out altogether and remove a date. To be honest, you cannot go wrong with them, simply add a date or a little more maple syrup if the mixture is too dry or add some oats if it is too wet.
Full of nourishing ingredients, these little breakfast treats will leave your tummy full and you’lll feel energised for hours into your morning.
