Havregrynskugler is a traditional Danish Christmas candy. Directly translated it means “Oatmeal balls”. As many other recipes, there are a lot of different versions of these as well. Some have coffee in them, others have flaked coconut. This recipe is very plain, but I’m pretty sure they would be even more delicious if spiced up with some almond extract, vanilla, rum or even orange juice! 

Havregrynskugler er jo selvføglelig en traditional dansk julekonfekt. Ligesom mange andre traditionelle opskrifter, så findes der også vildt mange versioner af havregrynskuglen. Nogle har kaffe i, andre er med kokosmel. Denne her opskrift er egentlig meget simpel, men jeg er ret sikker på at de ville blive endnu mere lækre hvis man kom mandel essens, vanilje, rom eller appelsinjuice i dem!

– 7 tbsp cocoa/spsk kakao

2. Roll into little balls, about 1-1½ cm diameter. I used a teaspoon to measure. // Rul dem til små kugler, ca. 1-1½ cm i diameter. Jeg brugte en teske til at måle op.
