BREAKFAST ENERGY BALLS



Breakfast Energy Balls image

My favourite breakfast, especially before training. You can make them in advance really quickly, and the recipe can be doubled or tripled if your appliances permit it. It's portable, on the go, and contains cocoa for added energy (can be replaced with carob if you don't want it). They freeze and thaw well if you make a lot (or you can eat them cold!), and keeping them in the fridge gives an excellent texture. Vary the ingredients depending on what you have on hand or what suits your tastes. Enjoy!

Time 10m

Yield 16 balls, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 ounces nuts, ground (use a spice or coffee grinder)
4 ounces dried fruit, torn to be no larger than raisins
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (use carob for caffeine-free balls)

Steps:

  • Note : at step 2 you can add a couple drops of vanilla extract (or any other aroma), and/or a couple dashes of cinnamon and/or other spices to vary the taste. Btw you can really use whatever nuts/seeds and dried fruit you want! I like pumpkin seeds and coconut with apricot and cranberries.
  • Place all ingredients in a blender for 2 minutes, or until it starts to form clumps and pieces of fruit are barely visible.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and work it with your hands to see if it sticks together when pressed hard. If not, add water, a couple drops at a time, until it does.
  • Form into 16 half-ounce balls. You can store them on top of eachother in a container, they won't stick together and won't loose their shape if you carry them. I recommend refrigerating them overnight to let the flavours blend a little and the texture set.

I love to make this mile-high breakfast sandwich when we have company for the weekend. If you'd like, add sliced mushrooms and olives. -Amy McCuan, Oakley, California

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Line your loaf pan with parchment paper: This will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan and make it easier to remove.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Energy breakfast loaf is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. It's packed with healthy ingredients like oats, bananas, and nuts, and it's a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. This bread is also easy to make and can be stored for up to a week, making it a great option for busy mornings.
