I think the concept for these was developed for camping and hiking, but I make these for my kids as a healthier alternative to sweet snacks. There are tons of possibilities for variation on almost all of the ingredient which I like a lot. Ingredients:
2/3 cup peanut butter or 2/3 cup other nut butter |
1/3 cup blackstrap molasses, plus |
2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses |
1/3 cup honey |
2 cups oats |
3 tablespoons skim milk powder or 3 tablespoons toasted coconut |
toasted sesame seeds |
chocolate chips (optional) or raisins (optional) or other dried fruit (optional) or chopped nuts, etc (optional) |
Directions:
1. Thoroughly mix the first three ingredients.
2. Add the oats and coconut plus anything additional and stir to coat.
3. Form into a 1 inch round cylinder using wax paper.
4. Chill for about 30 minutes or longer and cut and roll into golf ball sized or smaller pieces.
5. Roll each ball in a dish of sesame seeds (whole or ground) to coat.
