Have you got a sweet tooth? Why not swap your usual biscuit for these no bake cinnamon oatmeal energy balls from Dr. Hazel Wallace?

They have oats which is a good carbohydrate for energy, healthy fats from the coconut oil and the peanut butter and some protein as well. They only take 5 minutes to prepare, and taste great too.

Serves: 10-12 Balls
Ingredients:

  • 100g Porridge oats
  • 1bsp Chia seeds
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 40g Raisins
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil (melted)
  • 50g Honey
  • 50g Peanut butter (can be substituted with other nut butters)

Method:

  1. Put your porridge oats, chia seeds, cinnamon and raisins in a bowl and give it a good stir. Set that aside for now.
  2. Pour your honey, peanut butter and melted coconut oil into a separate bowl, and mix until it’s all combined.
  3. Pour your honey, peanut butter and coconut oil mix into the bowl with your oats, seeds and raisins and combine well. If you find your mixture is a bit dry add a bit more honey. If you find it’s too wet, add a few more oats.
  4. Roll the mixture in between your hands to make tablespoon sized balls, and put on a baking sheet.
  5. Once all your balls are rolled out, pop them in the fridge for around 30 minutes to firm up.
