Honey-Sweetened 
No-Bake Oatmeal Bites

“This is a favorite recipe that we use with the kids after learning all about bees. Below is the actual recipe. “We often just put out the ingredients in individual bowls, buffet-style, and let the kids scoop from each bowl (with a bit of guidance on quantity) into their own small bowl and mix it up so they can make their personal no-bake cookies.
Servings 26 balls

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • tiny pinch of sea salt
