Peanut Butter Energy Balls
My peanut butter energy balls are the best keto snack ever! Soft and fudgy, packed with seeds and gently sweet without the carbs.
Servings: 10
Calories: 86kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup mixed seeds I used a blend of pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseed, hemp seeds, 70g (measured before blending, don't overfill cup)
- ¼ cup peanut butter smooth and runny, 65g
- 1 tablespoon liquid allulose 13g
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch sea salt
- seeds of 2 cardamom pods crushed, or a pinch of powdered cardamom
Add as needed
- water or milk of choice I used 1 tablespoon water
- olive oil ½ teaspoon if peanut butter is not runny
Instructions
- Toast the mixed seeds in a large frying pan over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir with a spatula and turn down the heat to low once they are starting to pop so they don't over-brown. Let cool.
- Pulse the seeds briefly in a food processor until you have a mixture of seed flour and larger pieces. (Don't over-blend!)
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients with a fork until combined. Add water or a milk of your choice as needed to form a uniform dough. ***see notes
- Roll into bite-sized balls. My mixture made 10 balls of 15 grams each.
- Option to roll the balls in toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
2.3g net carbs per energy ball. Makes 10 energy balls. 1 ball per serve.
*** Milk or water makes the balls softer. How much you need depends on how finely you blended the seeds and how runny your peanut butter is. Start with ½ tablespoon liquid and work your way up from there. If your peanut butter is NOT runny, option to add ½ teaspoon of olive oil as well.
If the mixture becomes too soft by mistake, add a little almond flour, coconut flour or protein powder. There is literally no way to mess this recipe up!
Outside the US, Wholesome liquid allulose is available via iherb (at the time of writing).
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
