Introduce the recipe and the partnership with Bob's Red Mill.

Measure 1 cup of dry Bob's Red Mill quick-cooking steel-cut oats.

Prepare a super seed mix with 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds (or substitute with flax seeds or chia seeds).

Measure 1/2 cup of almond butter as the nut butter.

Measure 1/3 cup of sweetener (honey or agave maple syrup) and use a small mashed banana as the sweetener.

Measure 1/2 cup of mix-ins, using 1/4 cup of raisins and 1/4 cup of slivered almonds.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture.

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until evenly distributed.

Use a tablespoon scoop to form the mixture into balls, or use your hands to shape them.

Place the formed balls on a plate or baking sheet.

Refrigerate the balls to firm them up before serving.

Optionally, bake the balls in the oven at 350°F for 12 minutes if you prefer them cooked.
