Trail mix balls
By Sari Huhtala
These yummy trail mix balls take only a few minutes to make and offer a great alternative to store-bought granola bars when heading out for a hike or when you need a quick pick-me-up during an afternoon energy slump at the office.
Trail mix balls
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds, walnuts, raisins and pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup oats
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup raw honey or maple syrup
Place all dry ingredients, except for raisins, in a food processor. Process to a crumble. Add peanut butter and maple syrup. Blend to combine. Add the raisins and blend just to mix. Roll into one-inch balls. Store in an air tight container in fridge or in freezer for longer-term storage.
