Quick and easy!

This recipe is one of the favorites of my daughter's Gopher Women's hockey team. I make them almost weekly or when the stash runs out.

Ingredients: 

2 cups of oatmeal (dry rolled oats)
1 cup of peanut butter
1 to 2 tsp. cinnamon 
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup chocolate chips (your preference)
1/3 cup honey

Directions:

Combine the cinnamon, peanut butter, oatmeal and honey together. You can add more oatmeal or more peanut butter if you think it looks to dry to roll into balls. Add the chocolate chips and form the mixture into bite sized balls and put on parchment or wax paper. The balls should be moist enough to stick together but not too sticky to stick to your hands when they are done. Place the balls in a bowl with air tight lid.

Not only are these a more healthy option, they are delicious and full of protein. Cinnamon and honey are added for their amazing health benefits. Enjoy!
