    Has anyone else done them? How good are they? Aren't the uncooked oats too chewy?

    I mentioned subbing nuts, but I left out seeds. You can use sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds to make a simple, portable food with good supplies of iron and magnesium.

    i have done these many times you can add or take away.. i have used oats dates nuts. . cocoo powder you can throw in chia flax sunflower seeds whatever you like really.. i roll in balls .. i usually use cocoa powder in mine roll in balls and roll in coconut.. no honey needed.in my version. the dates oats nuts.. with a little water form together. but you can make these in so many ways..

    i call them bliss balls.. they make me happy.. a healthy yummy treat.

    I make these all the time but roll them into balls. 1 is just under 100 calories with coconut flakes included. Sometimes I use almond butter, which is also delish!

    I'm not sure how you get 60 calories per bar... I only used 1/4 cup of honey and added some apricots (180 calories total), and I still get 80 calories per serving. Still sounds good though. Will see how it turns out in a bit!

    Only have 4g of protein though :(

    Ok they are delicious. Tiny though, so I just made 16 servings, and they were still pretty crumbly after one hour (maybe because I replaced some of the honey with milk), and I wish they had more protein, but I wasn't really using that almond butter and rolled oats anyway. Now I'm just going to have to resist eating the whole pan because it really doesn't fit my macros at all :laugh:
