Not sure where I got this recipe but its a good source of protein and omega-3fatty acids (brain food). This definitely requires a bit of elbow grease!!!
in a large bowl, mix together
1 cup smooth low-fat peanut butter
1 cup honey (don’t cheat on this)
gradually add
3 cups of whole oats
1/2 cup ground flaxseed (found mine at Trader Joes CHEAP, toasted gives it a yummy flavor too)
1 cup of chocolate chips
**Stir in 1 cup any combination of nuts and dried fruits
I used 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup raisins, next time I might add some shredded coconut.
Form into ping pong sized balls, recipe should make about 48 balls, I only got 35 but they are bigger.
These taste like a cross between a granola bar and cookie dough.
I’ve been giving them to the kids along with their breakfast or as an afterschool treat. They really really like them. Rob has also asked me to make them so he can pop them after his workout.
