Made this for my husband since he likes to work out. he LOVED it. added hemp seeds and chia turned out great.
Yummy! Just the right amount of sweetness for me. I added some protein powder also.
Very good ! My picky boyfriend likes it 🙂
This was just okay for us. The things I changed was adding a 1/2 tsp of vanilla, 2 Tbsp of mini chocolate chips and 1/4 cup extra of peanut butter. My problem is this mixture was NOT shaping into balls. So, I laid down parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spread the mixture out flat on that and then placed it in the freezer. I then cut this into 24 squares, which must be kept in the freezer. I tried keeping it in the fridge overnight and it became unfirm, so I put it back in the freezer. I may make this again, but only if my family requests it. I will not make it for myself (I didn’t like it enough).
Super easy to make with ingredients I always have on hand. Delicious too! It’s nice to have a sweet, HEALTHY treat on hand for my kids 🙂
I added a little more peanut butter and vanilla to make it less dry. I also added chocolate chips for added sweetness 🙂
Made these exactly as the recipe stated. They were barely OK. Did not look anything like the photo, not dark and would not stay in ball form. I did not like them at all, husband said they were ok and the kids left them lay after one bite. I ended up making cookie dough and mixing these in so as not to waste the ingredients.
These are easy and taste fantastic! I added 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. They actually taste like cookie dough!
Nice to have a snack without processed sugar or flour. I’ve made this versatile treat often, and change it every time with different replacements or additions: vanilla (always), almond butter, dried cherries or cranberries, dark chocolate chips, cocoa powder, sesame seeds. A friend bakes everything in at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. So quick and easy.
