Nutella Cookie Balls

I actually have Nutella in the house so I'm trying to find the "perfect" experimental recipe. I want to try a variation on the peanut butter cookie balls recipe we all love.



1 cup dry oatmeal
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup Nutella
1/2 cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1 Tbsp chia seeds (optional)
2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1" in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to one week.

Makes 20-25 pieces.

Notes:
I usually roll the peanut butter balls but these I had to kinda squeeze and press into shape.
