We love these energy balls. Or ‘dung balls’ as they’re called in our family. (OK, OK “poo balls” I was trying to be polite but you know what kids are like.)
These little beauties are all over the internet and I expect they’re all great. But ours are awesome!
They are quick, easy, healthy and yummy. They are full of fibre and not high in sugar. Nuts and seeds are high in protein and other great nutrients (sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E). Best yet, the kids have great fun making them (and there’s not even much mess!) One of those things you can just ‘rustle up’.
How to make the Awesomest Energy Balls.
So here goes.
1. Take ingredients.
2. Mix in large bowl.
3. Shape into bite size pieces.
4. Arrange nicely on plate so that you can take a photo (optional, you could just scoff them!)
Ingredients of Awesomest Energy Balls.
- 150g oats
- 30g cornflakes
- 30g branflakes
- 150g raisins
- 75g dates, chopped
- 50g pumpkin seeds
- 50g sunflower seeds
- 50g almond chunks
- 100g cooked apple
- 1 tsp molasses

You don’t have to be exact about anything and you can use pretty much whatever you like in way of nuts, seeds and dried fruit. The cooked apples give it a nice moist texture.
