I’ve been making a few bite sized balls lately for the kids lunch boxes, they are a great healthy snack. My Miss 12 wanted something a little different than the apricot balls I have been making lately. Looking through the pantry I had some muesli that I wanted to use up which added a nice little crunch to these balls.
I used apricots, but you could replace these with dried apples or dates, this recipe is so versatile.

Ooh! These look really good, Kat. Might have to make some of these for Mrs R next time I make her gluten-free granola! Yum. x
Ooh what a lovely idea Mr R.:) They are so yummy and make the perfect snack.:)
A lovely flavour combination Kat! I bet you could use coconut oil too which would add a nice flavour 🙂
Ooh yes great thinking! I have just started using coconut oil.:)

Hello. Just wondering cam you freeze the apricot, coconut and muesli balls?
What could you use instead of apricots please?
Bron, you could use sultanas, dates, dried pineapple or paw paw pieces would be nice too.
