Christmas Oatmeal Balls

Havregrynskugler in Danish

Christmas Oatmeal Balls are in Danish called havregrynskugler and remind me of my childhood when I lived at home. We made them often as a nice treat on weekends.

I remember mixing the dough in our kitchen with my two sisters. We got covered in chocolate, and I always had to do a manicure after! Still, it was worth the mess.

In other words, the recipe is super easy to follow, and the kids usually love to help me. My son has also done it by himself to surprise me!
Havregrynskugler is a no-bake recipe, so it is tough to resist eating a couple of them before you are finished making them. 

These yummy Oatmreal Balls with Rom are an excellent snack for the weekend or whenever you are craving something sweet. The Balls are super quick to make, and you can let the whole family join in.

Christmas Tradition

These Christmas Oatmeal Balls are a wonderful treat during the Christmas holidays and are super yummy! The recipe is kid-friendly and friendly to do together as a family or even let your children make it themselves. Both Emilie and Sebastian have made them without me several times.

Both adults and children love Christmas Oatmeal Balls. Maybe this recipe is something you want to try this year, but just to let you know, it doesn’t have to be Christmas to make them. In our family, we make them all year long. If you don’t feel you have time for it now, you can pin the recipe for another time.

The Christmas Oatmeal Balls recipe is simple to follow and is a no-bake recipe; it’s difficult to resist eating a couple of them before you are finished making them.

Tip

Coconut flakes and cocoa powder are traditionally used to coat these oat balls. But really, your only limit is your imagination. We have sometimes also used liquorice powder, which gives them a nice, delicious twist in the flavour, but we know it is challenging to find liquorice powder outside Denmark. You can also try using coloured sanding sugar, or they can be plain.

Good luck!
