Yield Makes about 25 balls

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (10g) PUFFED MILLET
1 cup (20g) PUFFED KAMUT or PUFFED RICE
1/2 cup (90g) diced DRIED PLUMS (prunes; see Note)
1/3 cup (60g) SEMISWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS
1/4 cup (35g) SESAME SEEDS
1/3 cup (80g) SUNFLOWER BUTTER, at room temperature
1/2 cup (125ml) HONEY
3/4 cup (40g) shredded unsweetened COCONUT

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, toss together the puffed millet and puffed kamut or rice. Add the dried plums, chocolate chips, and sesame seeds.
  • 2. Stir in the sunflower butter and the honey. You should have a nice sticky mess! Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • 3. Place the coconut in a small bowl. Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form it into 1-inch (2.5cm) balls with your hands. Roll the balls in the coconut and transfer to a container. You can store the power balls in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 1 month, but I bet they won't last that long!
