Mix everything together
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a big spoon to mix them together until evenly combined and no dry oats remain. This takes some arm muscles, but you can do it!
Roll into balls
RollUse a medium cookie scoop or measure a heaping tablespoon of the mixture, then roll it into a ball and place it in an airtight container. Repeat until you have used up the oat mixture.
Cook's noteA few minutes in a dry pan brings the flavour out of the nuts and seeds rather than leaving them just crunchy.
