Nut Butter Truffles

2 c rolled oats
1 c nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
1/2 c honey
3/4 c ground flaxseed
1 c cocoa nibs
2 t vanilla
pinch of salt

Optional:
cocoa powder
coconut flakes
coarsely ground nuts

Combine all ingredients in large bowls.  Chill in the fridge for 10 minuets.  Roll tablespoon-sized scoops into balls.  Balls can be rolled in cocoa powder, coconut flakes, or coarsely  ground nuts for added flavor.  Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze.

A version of this recipe was shared with us by our nutritionist.  To decrease the sugar content, we substituted cocoa nibs for mini-chocolate chips and reduced the amount of honey. We also experimented with different types of nut butters (the original recipe called for peanut butter) and additional toppings.
