Yummy!!!!! They were sooooo good!!!! I should have them with my spaghetti squash!!!!
The recipe makes about 20, so I am saving up for the week. Each ball is under 90 cals and has over 14 g of protein!!!! You should have 2 balls per meal along with your veggies.
Hi! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does running a well-established website such as yours
require a lot of work? I am completely new to operating a blog but I do
write in my diary daily. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
I would like to try this, but I don’t have a oven :( Can I make them in the microwave? How long shall they cook?
These are very delicious! I like how you can put whatever seasonings or meat you want in them. I used ground turkey breast and they turned out great! I think these will be great for me to take on the go for meals. :-) thanks for sharing!
This is a delicious recipe! I made mine a little more Italian flavored by adding some chopped fresh basil to the meat. It turned out awesome! I cant wait to make them again!
These are AMAZING! Nice, light texture and the oats magically disappear. I vary the recipe sometimes and use ground bison, and change up the herbs. Make a batch on Sundays and keep them on hand for easy meals all week. Love these, thanks Cassey!
I used this as a guideline, seeing as how I didnt have an ground chicken. Use lean ground beef instead. Added red bell instead of green. And mint, instead of the oregano & basil. Threw in some chili flakes, salt and pepper. Smells divine. And gonna use them in my mexican soup
I used them on a wrap and took them with me to school!
I make meatballs with half pureed broccoli and caulifor for my toddler to get veggies in him. Make it with ground turkey, too. Has the same flavor and texture as meatballs. In fact, I like it better because it’s a lot lighter.
Just made these meatballs using lean mince and they tasted Ahhhh-mazing! Thanks so much for your wonderfully healthy, clean recipes. xxx
Just made these with ground turkey and they were glorious! :D Can’t wait to have more for dinner!
Gonna make these for dinner tomorrow as have a friend coming over – little does she know she will be eating clean haha :) could I sub almond meal for the oats, or bad idea?
I just made a few of these meatballs and they are so good! I had to substitute a few key ingredients though but they still turned out great. My grocery store didn’t have any ground chicken so I made them with ground turkey instead and I didn’t have green bell peppers, only sweet peppers so I used those instead too. I don’t know how much it changed nutritionally but I’m sure it’s still pretty healthy. I also ate them with a little bit of spaghetti sauce. So, so good!
Is there something you can sub for the oats to make them gluten free?
I found this recipe via Pinterest this morning and made it for dinner tonight! I took your suggestion of pairing it with spaghetti squash and then added a small bit of spaghetti sauce and a sprinkle of cheese. Yum! Delicious! I can’t wait to eat the leftovers. Thank you!
These were so good! Even my picky hubby scarffed them :). I used a lot more garlic ( we love it!) and subbed the oats for quinoa flakes.
These look great! Can I sub the chicken for ground turkey? Or is that not clean enough? And can I eat these while on the 90 day meal plan?
Made these last night, had to sub bread crumbs for the oats, and they were great! I’m not sure how much that changed the calorie content but I will make them again for sure, next time according to the recipe. I do think the oregano was a bit much though so I will cut back on that. Served them with whole wheat penne pasta and homemade marinara. Yummo!! Thanks Cassey!
These look amazing! Definitely giving them a whirl :)
Bookmarked! Thanks Cassey, i’ll try soon and share it to my friends.
You could maybe make them with canned salmon too? I feel like you could substitute it for many things! Love the recipe! Super simple!
I just made these with Turkey and some alternative spices. This is so easy, I love it!
These look sooo good! But any idea what I can sub in for the chicken? I’m a vegetarian…might TVP or something like that work?
yeah! try tvp!
i baked them today they taste awesome i put some green chilli as well:)thanks keep sharing more recipes love you cassey
Yum! Love those big purple onions. What a good idea to put them in a muffin pan!
Thanks going to try them this weekend. They look delicious
YUM!!! These look outstanding, can’t wait to make these and throw them into some marinara ;) I have had a major craving for a meatball sub, so I’ll have them with a little scooped out, whole wheat baguette and cheese!
Hey cassey I tried them and it tastes good, I also added some grated carrots, and purple cabbage .. and it tasted great :)… I still have the left-over refrigerated. Thank you.
