Healthy Peanut Butter Balls
Ingredients
-
3 cups raisin bran cereal
- 1 cup crunchy brown rice cereal
-
2/3 cup natural smooth peanut butter
- 5 tbs pure maple syrup
- 3 tbs dried cherries
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or 1/2 cup freeze-dried bananas (optional)
Method
Step 1: Process the raisin bran and brown rice cereals, peanut butter, maple syrup, cherries and 1 tablespoon water in a food processor until the mixture is finely chopped and comes together in a big ball. Roll some into a small ball; if it seems too dry and crumbly, add 1 more tablespoon of water and mix again.
Step 2: Scoop the mixture into slightly heaped tablespoons, then roll them into smooth balls. (Dampen your hands with a little water to help you roll without the mix sticking to you.)
Step 3: If using the bananas, pulse them in a food processor until finely ground. Pour them into a small bowl. Roll each truffle in the banana dust until coated. If using the cocoa, pour it into a small bowl, then roll each truffle in it until coated.
