"OH BALLS" I say....

Please note: Wine is only deserved AFTER a train...or while in the kitchen.

So Friday night my mate came over and we had an agenda...to make Energy Balls.
They turned out great, super easy (even I can make them as no oven is required...I can cook, but not bake - pancakes are considered baking fyi)
Anyway, these little babies are fantastic! Much like a "Cliff Bar" but instead of a $3 price tag do a dance for $0.40 per ball. Yes! AND Delish.


INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup Sunfower Seeds, Toasted
1 Cup Sesame Seeds, Toasted
1 Cup Rolled Oats
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Raisins
1 Cup Dried Cranberries
1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
2 Cups Almond or Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup Honey
1 1/2 Cups Toasted Coconut


METHOD:
Put everything except coconut in a large bowl.
Mix together with your hands. Add more honey if you need them to hold together more.
Roll into "Tim bit" sized balls and roll in coconut
Store in ziplock for up to a couple of months in freezer if needed (but you won't, cause the are too damn yummy and you will be so energized you will want to run more...:) )

  1. I think the Ball Nutrition is a little off. Becuase the recipe says that nutrition for 20 balls. And we made 40 balls per batch. So i think its 2 balls for that nutrition. I THINK. xo
