no bake energy balls

i was running a group program and one of the participants made these no bake energy balls. they were delicious! i recently made a batch and gave some to a good friend who had a premature baby. nothing better than to drop off delicious and healthy snacks to a new mama! and oatmeal helps to increase breastmilk. perfect!

all rolled up

 look at that precious hand.
