For a large gathering, these light and fluffy baked scrambled eggs can be easily prepared. We always have very few leftovers from our Christmas brunch, which I generally prepare in two pans.
| Prep Time: | 15 mins |
| Additional Time: | 30 mins |
| Total Time: | 45 mins |
| Servings: | 40 |
| Yield: | 80 peanut butter balls |
Ingredients
- 1 (18 ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- 1 cup flax seed meal
- 1 cup hempseed
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- 2 (12 ounce) bags dark chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli®)
- 1 cup pecan pieces
Instructions
- Beat peanut butter in a bowl of a stand mixer on low speed until creamy. Add coconut oil, agave nectar, sea salt, flax seed, hempseed, rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, and pecan pieces respectively, beating dough well after each addition.
- Scoop dough into smalls balls onto a plate. Chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 30 minutes.
- If the air temperature is too warm and the dough too gooey, place the dough in the refrigerator for an hour to let it set up, which will make it easier to form balls and have them hold their shape.

awesome my step son absolutely loves these
These are the best. So easy to make and pleased even my picky eater. I didn’t have enough chocolate chips so I chopped up 2/3 cup in the food processor and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing, this recipe is a keeper!
These are an excellent snack. They really taste great. I had to substitute mint choc chips and I added some unsweetened coconut. Would make these again for sure!
Have made these three times and will make again today since they serve a few special purposes in our house; son uses them for grab and go energy before a workout; treat for my friend who’s gluten-dairy sensitive when everyone else gets brownies for dessert; actually hide my mom’s one medication in a room temperature ball since she won’t swallow her pill.
I used more flax seed meal in place of some of the oats. I also used raw sunflower seeds instead of pecans. I call these squirrel cookies they are delicious, I eat them for a power burst at breakfast!
