Apricot Coconut and Muesli Balls

9 comments

These Apricot Coconut and Muesli Balls are a great healthy lunch box snack, which are easy and quick to make.

These Apricot Coconut and Museli Balls are delicious! I’ve been making a few bite sized balls lately for the kids lunch boxes, they are a great healthy snack.  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.

A lovely flavour combination Kat! I bet you could use coconut oil too which would add a nice flavour 🙂

Bron, you could use sultanas, dates, dried pineapple or paw paw pieces would be nice too.
