That does sound good. Have you tried baking them into actual cookies yet? I'd be interested to see how thatd turn out myself.
I would not try baking them. They would just burn and melt all over the place. I may try adding some protein powder and a little less honey.0 -
I was just thinking of adding protein powder! And maybe cocoa powder and liquid stevia.....for us diabetics.0

I make these about once a month. I add coconut to mine. Then I freeze the balls. Yum! I eat them frozen.0
-
This sounds yummy. However, it says 1 cup oatmeal. Is that cooked oatmeal or one cup of oats? Just wanted clarification. Thanks0
-
is the nutritional info per ball?0
-
This looks awesome! I might make it, replacing the oats with coconut. Thanks for posting0
-
The recipe I found on Pinterest is a little bit different than the OP. It calls for less honey and toasted coconut.
This is the recipe I use and I keep them in the fridge for an after workout snack. Love them!! My kids love them too!!

I am in love with this recipie! It is so easy and AMAZING! You have got to try it. I have a major addiction to cookie dough and anything about them and here is a healthy recipie for cookie dough tasting things!
They are orignally from pintrest and you can bet that I will be making them again, and again, and again.
INGREDENTS:
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)
1/2 cup ground flax
1/2 honey
1/2 cup dark choclate chips (this is what I added but feel free to leave it out or add other nuts or dried fruit!)
DIRECTIONS:
1. mix together all ingredents
2. refrigerate for around 30 minutes
3. roll up into little balls and store in the refrigerater! (This makes around 15 balls)
NUTRITION: calories 134 carbs 17 protein 4 fiber 3 sugar 10
YUMMY!!! I have all of those ingredients already (except the choc chips) but I am definitely going to make these...Thanks!!0 -
I am so going to try this!!! yum0

I found these on Pinterest a few months ago and I try to keep them stocked in my fridge. My kids love them! I do too. I use my small Pampered Chef scoop and get about 32-36 balls in one batch so each one is about 55-60 calories.
I get ground flaxseed at Walmart. It's next to the flour/corn meal/yeast at my store.
ETA: IMO, they taste better the longer they are refrigerated. My kids will eat them right after I mix them up but I think they taste too flaxseed-y. The longer they sit, the better the flavors meld.
You definitely answered the question I was going to ask....Would kids like this? My 3yr old loves cookie dough and tries to sneak bites of it b/c I won't let him eat it & if this is a favorite of your kiddos then I bet mine will love them as well!! Thanks!! :flowerforyou:
ETA: One last question to anyone....How long will they last in the fridge? Can I freeze some for later? Only my 3yr old would be eating them & I would hate for most of them to go bad...Thanks in advance for an answer. :happy:0 -

I make these allll the time! They're so tasty and filling. Might go ahead and make a new batch now....0

What is so healthy about this? Add butter and egg and it IS cookie dough.
Why not just call it 75% cookie dough?0 -
I made some of these a couple of days ago but didn't have the flax like I thought so made them w/o. What would the flax have added or subtracted? I ended up making only 12 (as well as using sugar free honey) so they are 168 cals each.....and I put them in the freezer....they make a yummy snack....
Could probably decrease the sugar/fat/calories by using less peanut butter and/or lower fat PB or natural PB....
Wonder how they would taste using cocoa to make them chocolate instead of the chocolate chips.......0 -
Sounds Yummy So Gunna Try This0

I like flax because it's a great source of fiber, antioxidents, and Omega-3s.0
