Prep

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
5 min
Make sure the sun-dried tomatoes are chopped very small so they distribute evenly!
2
In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, rosemary, lemon zest, and garlic powder. Warm for 15-20 seconds until the honey is fluid.
2 min
Warming the liquid helps it coat the dry ingredients much better.
3
Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly with a sturdy spatula until everything is well-coated and the mixture starts to clump together.
3 min
If it feels too dry, add another teaspoon of olive oil.

Cook

4
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, firmly press and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
10 min
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking to your palms.
5
Place the tray in the refrigerator to chill and set before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Chilling is the secret to making sure they don't fall apart when you take a bite!

Chef's Notes

These are a lifesaver for school lunches or a quick afternoon pick-me-up. The combination of salty olives and sweet sun-dried tomatoes is a classic Mediterranean flavor profile that kids actually love! If you want a bit of crunch, feel free to toss in some toasted pine nuts.
