Blueberry Breakfast Balls

Blueberry Breakfast Balls – A vibrant and delicious way to start the day.

How gorgeous do these blueberry breakfast balls look? The blueberries give such a beautiful colour, making these not only delicious but super pretty too. This recipe is adapted from one of my most viewed recipes, Raspberry Coconut Balls. When developing this version I took into consideration some of the feedback and suggestions I had received on the raspberry balls.

Blueberry breakfast balls. Blueberry, oats, peanut butter and oats blazed and rolled into balls. A healthy breakfast perfect for kids and babies.

The first alteration I made was to blend the mixture, resulting in a much smoother ball which I think makes it more kid/baby friendly. I also decided to use peanut butter instead of almond flour and coconut oil which has resulted in a more moist ball. Lastly, I have slightly increased the ratio of fruit to other ingredients so it is a little sweeter. It still isn’t super sweet though, so if your kids are used to more sweetness you may have to add a little honey/maple syrup to the mixture.

Recipe Notes

This is not a sweet ball and I have deliberately made it this way. If you want more sweetness then add some maple syrup, honey or a few dates to the recipe.

      Hi Nan, yes you can but you may have to add a little extra if you feel the mixture is too dry. They also won’t have the same depth of colour.
