Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Zed Snack Attack Trail Mix
- 1/2 cup of rolled oats
- 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup of peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)
- 1/4 cup of ground flaxseeds (optional, for added nutrition)
- A pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavors)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Trail Mix
- Start by measuring out one cup of Zed Snack Attack Trail Mix. This mix is a combination of nuts, dried fruits, and seeds, providing a delightful medley of textures and flavors.
Step 2: Pulse the Mix 2. Place the Trail Mix in a food processor and pulse it a few times to break down the larger pieces. You want a coarse texture with small chunks for added crunch.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pulsed Trail Mix, rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, peanut butter (or your preferred nut butter), and ground flaxseeds (if using). Add a pinch of salt if desired for an extra flavor boost.
Step 4: Mix It Up 4. Use a spatula or your hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until they form a sticky, cohesive mixture.
Step 5: Shape the Energy Balls 5. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. The size is entirely up to your preference, but aim for uniformity to ensure even snacking.
Step 6: Set and Chill 6. Place the energy balls on a parchment paper-lined tray or plate. Cover them and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and hold their shape.
Step 7: Ready to Go! 7. Once chilled, your Trail Mix Energy Balls are ready to be enjoyed. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
