Ingredients
1/4 cup sweet potato baby food
1/4 cup carrot baby food
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (They say not to use the quick oats, but that's all I have and it worked fine as far as I could tell.)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional) I didn't use these, but if I had some really tiny chips, I would.
Topping options: cinnamon sugar, sprinkles
*Purees can be used interchangeably, as long as it totales 1/2 cup.
In a mixing bowl, combine baby food and peanut butter. Mix in whaet germ, oats, and chocolate chips, if using. Scoop up heaping teaspoon-size amounts of batter, and roll into balls with your hands. Roll balls into topping to coat completely. Wrap individually in plastic wrap to refrigerate or freeze.
Like I said, Joseph really liked these. I think if it had the chocolate, I would've enjoyed them more. These are not deceptively delicious, but I'm going to label it with them since it uses purees. Definitely a must try for your kiddos if you're looking for a snack alternative.
