Going "Loco" for these balls...


So, I posted some "crazy balls" the other day - and while those are good, I was just feeling that I needed more. I thought and thought...and then created these little numbers. My kids actually named these...a very long story and years of Noggin watching made naming these little confections quite easy. My daughter says they are so good they make your legs "go loco!".

My kids ate these up and begged for more. I myself ate a handful as well :-). There isn't a single processed or crazy additive, no sugar (!), and they are packed with vitamins & fiber...so you too will go LOCO for these!


Makes about 20 balls...

2 cups raisins (any flavor or color is fine)
1/2 cup Flax Seed Meal
1 Cup unsweetened coconut
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 of coconut (or topping of your choice) to roll finished balls in

Using a food processor mix all ingredients together. Continue mixing until the dough literally "balls" itself (about 1-2 minutes). Roll into 1" balls & roll in coconut.



Store in a tight container in or out of fridge. These are DELISH - and super sweet. Enjoy!!!!

* you can find flax seed meal in the baking section or "natural/organic" section of most grocery stores. If you can't find it you can make your own by grinding flax seed in a coffee grinder.
