energy balls?
I have been searching for a recipe for these for a while. One of my best friend's mom used to make these for us. I know that they had wheat germ. A lot of the recipes that I am finding had powedered milk and I know that hers did not. Any ideas?
Re: energy balls?
I love wheat germ, I use it to coat chicken and pork chops instead
of bread crumbs.
I hope someone has the recipe you asked for. I think I remember my mother
making something like that also.
Here is the recipe I use:
No bake energy balls:
1 c of old-fashioned oats
1 c of toasted coconut flakes
1/2 c of chocolate chips
1/2 c of peanut butter
1/2 c of flaxseed meal
1 tbl of chia seeds
1/3 c + 1 /4 tsp of honey
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Mix it all together in a bowl and then refrigerate for 45 minutes. Remove and make into balls. I used a small scooper (1-1.5 inch) to press it in and then eject it. Rolled it with my hands to get a ball shape all around and then place in an airtight container to refrigerate. Will last 5-7 days but most likely they will be long gone before that!
