Time 15m

Yield 24 balls, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup raisins
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon flax seed (optional)
1 tablespoon wheat germ (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix peanut butter, oatmeal, sunflower seeds, raisins, and honey.
  • Roll mixture into balls.
  • Mix equal amounts of flax seeds and wheat germ in a bowl and roll the balls in this mixture (optional).
  • Let balls sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Additional Notes:
  • 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.
  • 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.
