Can you freeze these? If so, how do I do it?
Fa's Kitchen says
I have never frozen them. So I am not sure, how if frozen it will turn out. I am guessing, maybe it will turn soggy when you thaw it.
Christy Gilcrease says
what if you’re allergic to coconut?
Fa's Kitchen says
You can totally omit the coconut and substitute with the oats and even other ingredients like nuts or rice crispies etc.
Yvonne says
What measurement would work for raw cocoa instead of the 1c. Chocolate chips?
Fa's Kitchen says
You can use 1/4c raw cocoa instead of the choco chips.
Erin says
do you cook the oatmeal or leave it raw?
Fa's Kitchen says
I don’t cook it.. Just leave it as it is..
Natalie says
Would you be able to use whole flaxseed instead of ground? We bought that one by accident last time! Hope to try this soon:)
Fa's Kitchen says
Would it be possible to just dry grind them? But if your family enjoys flaxseed, I am sure they wouldn’t notice. I have to use the ground flaxseed to “hide” it from my family. 😉
Karen says
I make these without the honey. I also put pomegranate seeds, mashed banana and cinnamon in them. After I roll small balls, I coat them in yogurt and freeze them. You can make different sized balls and arrange them as a snow man with pretzel arms. With good markers and/or candy sprinkles you can decorate the rest of your snowman.
