I have made this recipe many times. It is simple, easy to do and few ingredients which make up this energy ball. It keeps us going, a ball or two is enough. I would make this again and again.
Love them!!
So easy and delicious! I added ground flax as well as a few mini chocolate chips. Great pick me up treat on the go.
I’ve made these a few times and love them. I made a few changes: I used all natural peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa, unsweetened coconut, gluten free Bobs red mill oatmeal, and flax seed instead of wheat germ. I increased peanut butter and oatmeal, and decreased honey and cocoa, each by 1/4 cup from recipe. I added 2 tbsp med-heat coconut oil.
We love these
I just make this and my family love it. Thank you so much
I really liked these. They were extremely easy and fast to make. Took me 15 minutes total. Most of that time was spent gathering ingredients and measuring. I’m not a huge peanut butter fan so I used almond butter. I was out of wheat germ so I used flax seeds. It made exactly 12 ping pong sized balls. They were a bit sticky and mushy so I popped them in the refrigerator. Once they were chilled they were firmer and not sticky. The cocoa powder gave them a bit of a bitter kick. Although unexpected I enjoyed it. If you’re not a fan of bitter chocolate I would use milk chocolate powder. Under the bitter taste they were very sweet. I could only eat 2 before my stomach started to protest. They are surprisingly filling.
Delish! I used crunchy peanut butter and added more than a pinch of cinnamon. I just shook some in to taste, probably close to half of a tablespoon of cinnamon. Once it was all mixed in the extra cinnamon was not overpowering. I added the extra because I wanted to be able to taste the cinnamon and I thought it would get lost with just a pinch of it.
Mmm
it was great! But could use some more flavor
My son is suuuuper picky and he loved them! My tip is to put the oats and coconut in a food processor to make it more fine prior to mixing with the other ingredients. Kids can be turned off by textures sometimes. I told him it was similar to a Reese’s peanut butter cup with “cereal crunchies” in it 😉
Just put them in fridge… I didn’t have any wheat germ, so I substituted same amount of hemp seeds. Also rolled them in powdered sugar, so they wouldn’t be as sticky. Recipe made 15 balls, could’ve been 16 if they were all uniform :).
This was awful. The chocolate overpowered all the other flavors and it was very bitter
I was a little too generous with the cocoa powder and forgot the vanilla so mine ended up a little dry. Will try again, excited to play around with this recipe.
Used almond butter instead of peanut butter.
Made these as written and they are so delicious! Easy to put together and even easier to eat. Now to just stay out of them!
I made these…sooo delicious
This was such an easy recipe and soooo good
Delicious, but messy. I may use the cocnut to coat the balls next time.
these were excellent!. I just swapped out protein powder in place of the coconut because I don’t like coconut . I also used quick cooking oats because they are smaller. I used about 1/2 honey and 1/2 maple syrup and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. helps to chill dough before making the balls.
I made these adding almonds and granola and chocolate chips. Made the treats with plastic ice cube trays which make perfect bites and they just pop out.
