    Crunchy Granola-Peanut Butter Energy Balls

    Published: Jan 17, 2017 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Many of the “energy balls” recipes you’ll find require a machine and/or lots of ingredients. These crunchy granola-peanut butter energy balls require neither. Readymade granola provides several healthy ingredients in one mix (oats, nuts, dried fruits, and sometimes seeds). Since I’m always looking for ways to incorporate healthy maca powder in food  I like to add some to these for an extra boost.

    Note: For this recipe, it’s best to use peanut butter that’s kind of in the middle — not too bottom-of-the-jar stiff, yet not too runny. This is basically what hold these together.
