Ingredient Breakdown
- 1 1/3 cups Rolled Oats
- 125 g Frozen Blueberries
- 2/3 cup Desiccated Coconut
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1/4 cup Extra Desiccated Coconut (Optional)
How to Make Blueberry Bliss Balls
1. Combine the Ingredients (2 minutes)
In a large bowl or food processor, combine your rolled oats, frozen blueberries, desiccated coconut, coconut oil, and water. If you’re using a bowl, I recommend mashing the blueberries a bit while mixing. This integrates the flavor and color throughout!
2. Mix It Up (3 minutes)
Stir everything together until a sticky dough forms. You want it to stick together nicely but not be dripping wet. If you find it’s too dry, no worries, just add a bit more water until you reach the right consistency. Trust me, it’ll come together!
3. Form the Balls (5 minutes)
Now comes the fun part! Grab about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form balls about 1 inch in diameter. Seriously, how easy is that? You’ll have a delightful little assembly line going in no time!
4. Coat with Coconut (3 minutes)
If you’re feeling fancy, roll your bliss balls in the extra desiccated coconut for that yummy finishing touch. This step is totally optional, but I think it makes them look extra delicious plus, who doesn’t love a little extra texture?
5. Chill and Enjoy (2 minutes)
Place your finished bliss balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (this makes cleanup a breeze!) and chill them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. But honestly? You can totally enjoy them right away if you can’t wait that long!
