Tip
Variation: To increase your toddler’s dietary variety, you might like to replace half of the apricots with dried figs. Like apricots, figs are a good source of iron.

Comments
I switched water and OJ for Kefir and I switched wheatgerm for Flaxseed.
Rolled the balls in Akta vite too add a little more nutrition and a hint of chocolate flavour.
Hope the kids enjoy
Quick, easy, lunchbox snacks for a week. I used bran instead of wheatgerm & everyone loved the taste.
Amazing! Followed this recipe exactly except used weetbix instead of wheatgerm. They are delicious and won't last long in the house. Thank you!

Yummy snacks enjoyed by all the family. My 4 yr old loves making these with me.
My, oh, my! These are Ah-mazing! Used half apricots, half figs and weetbix as per tips and other comments. My 8 month old, 2 year old and husband love them. I had to make a second batch straight away!!
So good, used weetbix insteadof wheat germ and did half sunflower seeds and half almonds. Kids love them (and I'm struggling not to demolish them too!)
Delicious, would do a double batch next time as they mysteriously disappeared
Love them! Maded a nut and gluten free version by replacing almonds with pepitas and eliminating wheatgerm. Were still yummy
Thanks for sharing this recipe its great and I love the picture too
yum cant wait to try this
