This is my healthy version of peanut butter balls. This is super easy! Make substitutions and use whatever you have available in your kitchen. Just be careful to watch your ratios. Enjoy!

SERVES 8 , 24 balls (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix peanut butter, oatmeal, sunflower seeds, raisins, and honey.
  2. 2
    Roll mixture into balls.
  3. 3
    Mix equal amounts of flax seeds and wheat germ in a bowl and roll the balls in this mixture (optional).
  4. 4
    Let balls sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. 5
    Additional Notes:
  6. 6
    You can make some substitutions with the ingredients. For example, substitute the raisins for chocolate chips or chopped nuts instead of sunflower seeds. There are many possibilities, just be careful and keep the ratios consistent.
  7. 7
    Also, I used natural peanut butter which caused my mixture to be more dry. If this is the case add a little milk; about 1/2 tablespoon at a time.

These were good. I kept to the ratio of ingredients as listed in the recipe, and the flavor of the sunflower seeds seemed to come through more than the peanut butter. Not a bad thing, but I wasn't expecting it.

    I modified the recipe slightly. I used sunflower butter because I seem to have an allergy to peanuts. I left out the raisins and used agave nectar instead of honey and then rolled in the flax seeds. They were very good and gave a protien boost for breakfast. Yummy.
