Hi the recipe for oatmeal balls I am having trouble reading the amount of honey for the recipe. Wondering if you could clarify. Thanks Jane

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

Hi Jane, the recipe uses 1/3 cup honey. Hope you enjoy them!

Hi Pam—thanks for noticing this error! We have fixed the recipe. It calls for 2/3 cup shredded coconut. Hope you enjoy these, they are delicious!

Could these be frozen? Thanks.

How long will these last in the fridge? Can they be frozen? Thanks :)

Katie Mitton - March 1, 2016

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!

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

Katie Mitton - March 1, 2016

Hi Sharon, we are working on getting nutritional information for all recipes!

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