Can you tell me how many calories each ball would be? Thanks!

Hi Erin, they will last up to two weeks in the fridge—probably longer, but they might get a bit dry after that. You can certainly freeze them and take them out when you need some!

Hi Jen, the honey adds some sweetness and also would hold the balls together better than coconut oil. You could try using maple syrup instead, though I am not sure they would turn out the same. I hope this helps!

Could the honey be substituted with Coconut oil and if so how much coconut oil would you recommend?

I am reading your oatmeal ball recipe and in the introduction it includes coconut as one of the ingredients but I do not see it anywhere in the recipe? Love coconut. Would you mind sending me the amount of coconut I will need. Otherwise, it’ll be trial and error.
Thank you,
Pam
