Time 15m

Yield 24 balls, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup raisins
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon flax seed (optional)
1 tablespoon wheat germ (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix peanut butter, oatmeal, sunflower seeds, raisins, and honey.
  • Roll mixture into balls.
  • Mix equal amounts of flax seeds and wheat germ in a bowl and roll the balls in this mixture (optional).
  • Let balls sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Additional Notes:
  • You can make some substitutions with the ingredients. For example, substitute the raisins for chocolate chips or chopped nuts instead of sunflower seeds. There are many possibilities, just be careful and keep the ratios consistent.
  • Also, I used natural peanut butter which caused my mixture to be more dry. If this is the case add a little milk; about 1/2 tablespoon at a time.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender: This will help to create a smooth and consistent mixture.
  • Don't over-process the mixture: Otherwise, the energy balls will become too dry and crumbly.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of milk or water: This will help to bind the ingredients together.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little bit of oat flour or almond flour: This will help to absorb the excess moisture.
  • Roll the energy balls in a coating of your choice: This could be coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or even cocoa powder.
  • Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator: They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter energy balls are a delicious and nutritious snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
