news
Ingredients 

Makes 12 balls

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup chocolate chips

½ cup ground flaxseed or chia seed

½ cup coconut shavings

½ cup unsalted sunflower seed butter (any nut butter works)

⅓ cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pro Tips
  • Use peanut butter or almond butter as an alternative if you aren’t a sunflower fan.
  • Be creative! Add nuts, dried berries, maple syrup, brown sugar, mashed banana... heck, try anchovies! Rally don’t care.

“The men and women of Rally Cycling are crazy about Sunflower Oat Balls this season. They are a perfect mashup of everything you need for quick fuel on the bike. I make them with sunflower butter for unique flavor and mix in healthy, tasty extras like chia seeds and maple syrup.” - Sarah Engen, Rally Cycling Soigneur

1. Measure, add each ingredient to a large mixing bowl.
2. Stir mixture with cleans hands. Using your hands is easiest when working with oats and honey – you can feel the texture change as the ingredients become evenly mixed.
3. Once completely mixed, start forming 1½ inch balls from the mixture with your hands.
4. Place balls on a baking sheet or cutting board and place in freezer for at least one hour to solidify.
5. Wrap each ball in tinfoil for an on-the-go snack, or sprinkle with shredded coconut and serve them straight out of the freezer!
