Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bites

Looking for a sweet treat for you or the kiddos but want to limit the sugar overload that this season brings?!? Try this no bake, super easy, healthy and tasty recipe! The addition of flaxseeds offer a great source of fiber, which keeps you full longer and omega-3, which is important to the anti-inflammatory system in the body.
Even Santa can appreciate Oatmeal Bites. Don't forget the carrot for Rudolph and the reindeers.
