👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Toast the oats in a dry skillet over medium heat 3–4 minutes, stirring, until until golden. Let cool.
    ⚙ Dry-Pan ToastingStoveFrying pan
    💡Toast over medium heat and keep things moving: nuts, pine nuts and spices go from toasted to burnt in seconds. Transfer to a plate right away, since the hot pan keeps toasting.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, mix the oats, coconut, milk, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, chia seeds, salt, dark chocolate and nuts well, until the mixture is moist and holds together when pressed.
    Bowl
    💡A dry mixture that crumbles when pressed gets another tablespoon of milk.
  3. 3
    Put the mixture in the fridge for 20 minutes, until it is easy to shape into balls.
    Refrigerator
  4. 4
    With damp hands, shape balls the size of golf ball.
    💡Damp hands don't stick to the mixture, and the balls come out smooth and round.
  5. 5
    Return the balls to the fridge for another hour, until they firm up.
