Energy Balls Recipe
INGREDIENTS LIST
1/2 -3/4 cup Oats
1/2 cup dried chopped raisins and cranberries
2 -3 tbsp peanut butter
1/2 -1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1tbsp chia seed mix (hemp, chia, flaxseed, and linseed)
2 tbsp honey
SOME INGREDIENT VARIATIONS
Cooked quinoa
Any dried fruit you prefer such as figs, dates apricots, and prunes
Other nut butters such as Cashew or Almond. Sometimes I use Coconut Oil, but you won’t need quite as much as it is quite oily!!
Protein powder
nutmeg, vanilla or turmeric
grated lemon zest and lemon juice, desiccated coconut, pumpkin and sunflower seeds maple syrup.
Milk, soya or almond milk if the mixture is a bit dry
METHOD
Put all the ingredients into a large bowl, mix together with your hands to form a large ball. If it isn’t sticking together nicely add a small drop of water or milk of your choice (see below). Break off into small pieces and roll in the palm of your hand to make small energy balls.
When I said the size of a large tomato I was thinking a large cherry tomato, not a giant old beef tom!!! If the mixture is too gloopy add a sprinkle more oats or seeds until it is the right consistency. The balls should hold together in a firm shape. Pop them in the fridge to chill and enjoy!!!
