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.

    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

    Delicious - made these with one wheatbix as everyone suggested.

    Also find it easy to place the coconut in a bag - and you can cover 6 or 7 balls at once instead of rolling them individually.

    I've just made these and they are really great. I used sunflower seeds instead of almonds so my daughter can take them to school and also added a tablespoon of nutraorganics super greens and reds for extra goodness. Will definitely be making these again, the kids love them!!

    Submitted by AliRo on 5. May 2013 - 11:31.

    Yum!  Just made these and they taste great, much better than shop bought!.  I ground up one weetbix really finely to use in place of the wheatgerm.  Also, I thought I made them small but think next time I will make them smaller, more like bite size.  Need to be refidgerated to keep firm.

    I was thinking I didn't want to buy wheatgerm either. Maybe chia seeds would be good?

    Submitted by AmyElf on 4. May 2013 - 17:11.

    AliRo I'm making these today and using buckwheat to bind. It's a gluten free option which I already have in my pantry. I didn't want to have to buy 500g of wheatgerm either. I would imagine anykind of flour would be ok.

  • Hi, I used polenta (cornmeal)

    Submitted by Weekend Cook on 4. May 2013 - 13:50.

    Hi, I used polenta (cornmeal) instead and it worked a treat. I also substituted maple syrup for honey as I didn't have any and that was fine too. They are delish! Perfect sweet treat in the arvo or after dinner for me!

    I made a similar (almost identical) recipe from Feeding Fussy Kids yesterday and the recipe called for wheatgerm and I didn't have it so I used a weetbix crushed up and it worked fine tmrc_emoticons.)

    Oh and I must say the ones I made weren't very sweet so I think the maple syrup in this recipe will make them perfect!!

    What could you use instead of wheatgerm to bind?  I don't ever use wheatgerm for anything else so don't want to buy any just to make this recipe.
