I’ve always had a passion for health and nutrition – healthy cooking and baking, and most importantly, healthy eating! As young as I can remember, I was reading recipes in mom’s magazines and even reading Grandma’s recipe cards and cookbooks to pass the time in the summer and on weekends. I was always drawn to the “healthy” recipes that contained oats, fruits and nuts. Problem is, I didn’t quite realize that adding all the sugar and butter kind of negated all the goodness.
When my first daughter was born, I longed to be a stay-at-home mom but couldn’t figure out how to fund that dream. I thought it’d be fun to own a business – something to do with cooking and baking – selling homemade cookies at various shops or even open a Bed & Breakfast. But, time passed and my second daughter was born and those dreams were set by the wayside.
When my 2 daughters were little, I loved having them help me bake quick breads and cakes and cookies for occasions like birthdays and holidays. In keeping with the ‘healthy’ theme, we learned to substitute applesauce for oil, reduce the sugar by half and add nuts wherever possible. One of our favorite things to make was and still is Alton Brown’s Granola recipe (we can easily add and mix and match fruit and nuts).
Now, my girls are teenagers, and I have the support I need to make that dream a reality! After discovering an energy ball at a local coffee shop, we started to experiment with recipes using wholesome ingredients like oats, honey, fruits and nuts. We thought, ‘why would we pay for granola bars that aren’t that great AND are made with ingredients that we couldn’t pronounce or identify'! We came up with Oatballs! Oatballs are a perfect combination of healthy and decadent, full of energy-filled oats and fruits, honey or maple syrup (great natural sweeteners) and nuts (healthy fats).
