Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Coarsely chop the almonds.
- Finely chop the coconut meat if it is in large pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, chopped coconut meat, flaxseed, dried cranberries, multi-grain oatmeal, and chia seeds.
- Stir thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, add the peanut butter and honey.
- Mix well until the peanut butter and honey form a smooth, cohesive mixture.
- Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything together until all the dry ingredients are well-coated and the mixture becomes sticky and well-combined.
- Scoop out a small portion of the mixture (about a tablespoonful) and roll it between your hands to form a ball.
- Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up. You should get approximately 16-20 power balls, depending on the size.
- Place the power balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a clean plate.
- Refrigerate the power balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Once the power balls are firm, they are ready to be enjoyed!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Use unsweetened dried cranberries to reduce added sugars.
- Toast the almonds lightly to enhance their flavor.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a small amount of water or additional honey to reach the desired consistency.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to ensure uniform size and shape.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 10-15 minutes before rolling into balls to make the process easier.
- Store the power balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for longer storage.
With just a few simple steps, you can prepare a batch of Power Balls to have on hand for a quick and nutritious snack. These power balls are a perfect combination of taste and health, offering a convenient way to boost your energy throughout the day. Enjoy these flavourful bites and feel good knowing you're fueling your body with natural ingredients.
