Berry Bliss Balls
These berry bliss balls are a favorite, no-bake, easy-to-make breakfast item. They are great for an on-the-go snack as well!
Servings: 16 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ½ cup desiccated coconut + more for coating balls)
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup raisins
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and blend until combined. Make sure to use a powerful processor so that the items can blend together easily.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into small balls.
- Roll the balls into the extra desiccated coconut to coat.
- Place the balls in the refrigerator for 10 minutes so that they can slightly harden and soak up some of the liquids.
Notes
- These bliss balls also work with fresh blueberries, but frozen blueberries help with the texture and also help give the balls their vibrant, bright color.
- You do not need to coat the bliss balls in coconut, they are fine to serve as is!
- These bliss balls are suitable for babies from 6 months of age (granted all signs of readiness are met), but they should be quartered to remove the roundness. You could alternatively make larger-sized balls and serve as is.
- I love using this mini kitchen aid food processor to make these bliss balls. Since it is small in size, I blend in the desiccated coconut at the end, but if you would like to make a larger batch, this 5-cup processor size would work well.
- If your mixture is too wet to form into balls, add in a little more oats, coconut, or almond flour.
- Desiccated coconut is unsweetened and different from regular shredded coconut. I used the brand let’s do organic desiccated coconut in this recipe.
