Powerball Recipe

Powerballs are easy to make, and take on the go. They’re basically a healthier version of a no bake cookie, and there are so many variations, you can constantly change it up. There are a variety of add ins you can add and mix. I love them for snacks or desserts. The general recipe makes about 24 1-inch balls, and the serving size is two balls. Freeze extras for later, or halve the recipe if you don’t need a large batch.

Basic Recipe:

1 cup dry oatmeal

2/3 cup coconut flakes

1/2 cup peanut butter (any kind)

1/2 cup ground flax seed

1/3 cup honey

2 Tablespoons flax seed

Add Ins:

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup chopped almonds

1/2 cup craisins

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

Directions:

1. Combine all the basic ingredients in a bowl. Choose desired add ins and combine ingredients.
2. Mix all the ingredients and roll into 1 inch balls. May need to add additional peanut butter or honey if the consistency is not sticky enough to form shape.
3. (Optional) Refrigerate to harden and solidify shape.

Happy eating,
