How to make this recipe
Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.
- Place all the ingredients in a glass mixing bowl.
- Mix well.
Tip: Place in the fridge for 20 minutes so that it firms up - this will make it much easier to roll into balls.
- Use your hands to roll the mixture into little balls - you should be able to make 15.
How long do these keep for?
These keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a good few days.
Can these be frozen?
Yes, they keep in the freezer for up to one month - leave to thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before eating.
Substitutions you can make
- The peanut butter can be replaced with almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- The agave syrup can be replaced with brown rice syrup or date syrup (I wouldn't recommend maple syrup as it's too liquidy).
- You can add dried cranberries or chocolate chips.
- You can add cocoa powder or matcha powder.
Can you bake these?
Yes! You can bake these in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 12-15 minutes.
