Mudballs

Ever had No-Bake cookies? These are a healthier version I found on Heavenly Homemakers blog. They are really pretty good considering I'd never used wheat germ or sesame seeds:) I've heard that you can sub out the sesame seeds for sunflower or flax seed for the wheat germ. Maggie loved them and calls them her "meatballs". They keep great in the freezer too!

Ingredients

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup wheat germ

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup sesame seeds

Combine PB and honey is medium saucepan over medium heat until the two are smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and stir together well. Once chocolate chips have melted and mixture is cool enough to handle, hand roll into small balls. Wax paper is handy but not necessary. I got about 2 dozen balls out of these equivalents and it wasn't nearly enough! I'd double for sure next time.

Flax seeds has LOTS of protein, I've been meaning to tell you about that. So that might be a good thing to stir into oatmeal, add to muffins, etc. to boost your protein intake without having to eat eggs. :); August 13, 2009 at 8:06 PM

About Connie

I love cooking, baking, and trying new recipes. I must confess that I am guilty of trying new recipes out on unsuspecting family and friends. My theory is if it turns out bad than I am not stuck with all of the leftovers (just kidding)! I am a working mother of two. My family finds baked goods irresistible and anything made with pumpkin is my weakness. Judith Viorst says it best, “Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands—and then eat just one of the pieces.”
