Description
Delicious and nutritious peanut butter coconut power balls that are perfect for a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flax seed (ground)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup mini M&Ms
Instructions
- In a blender, add rolled oats and pulse until the flakes are about half the size. Transfer the ground oats to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the flax seeds to the blender, pulsing to grind them so that they are fairly fine.
- Add the ground flax to the mixing bowl along with the shredded coconut, Rice Krispies, peanut butter, honey, maple syrup, and M&Ms. Mix well using a spatula or wooden spoon. The mixture should resemble dry cookie dough.
- Line a baking sheet or large airtight container with parchment paper and set aside.
- Using a 1½ tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop balls of the coconut and peanut butter mixture, then use your hands to finish rolling them into a ball shape. (Note: it helps to use a little bit of coconut oil on your hands to keep the mixture from sticking)
- Allow the Peanut Butter Coconut Power Balls to chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before eating.
- Store in the fridge or freezer in a large airtight container in single layers, using parchment paper or wax paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking.
Notes
- These power balls are a great energy-boosting snack.
- They can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for longer freshness.
- Consider adding other mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
