Ingredients
- 200 grams Walnuts
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for rolling, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, pulse the walnuts and rolled oats until they are finely ground but still have some texture. Do not over-process to avoid turning them into nut butter.
Step 2
Transfer the walnut and oat mixture to a medium mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix well until the ingredients come together into a cohesive dough.
Step 4
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5
Scoop out small portions of the dough (approximately 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands.
Step 6
If desired, roll the walnut balls in cocoa powder to coat them lightly for an extra chocolatey finish.
Step 7
Place the walnut balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Step 8
Store the walnut balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months.
