Failsafe Protein / Bliss Balls by Elise Winterflood
For a long time, easy and delicious protein/bliss/energy balls have been missing from the recipe arsenal for failsafers. But no more!
This recipe utilises Wow Butter, a soy based peanut butter substitute available at Woolworths. If soy is an issue cashew butter can be substituted but amines could be an issue depending on amounts eaten and these are very moreish!
Ingredients:
1 cup oats (or quinoa flakes, gluten-free)
1 cup wow butter, I used crunchy (or cashew butter)
1/4 cup of carob powder
1/2 cup of rice malt syrup
2tbsp poppy seeds (optional)
Method:
Mix all ingredients. Roll into little balls. Refrigerate in sealed container/s.
Tips:
If using quinoa flakes, put a small amount of water on them to wash or soak until soft.
The recipe was adapted by Elise Winterflood (aka Coach_failsafe) from this fruit free peanut butter based recipe.
I made this recipe and would like to make some adjustments for the gluten-free version; Quinoa flakes tend to be kind of crunchy and also if you don’t wash them you can react. Crumbled/blended gluten-free wheatbix can instead be substituted for the oats.
