Step by step

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, ground almonds, cinnamon and vanilla extract.

   Using clean hands, roll the mixture into 16–18 walnut-sized balls and place them on a plate or tray.

4. 4

   Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

5. 5

   Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
