These aren't pretty, but they're delicious, addictive, and easy! I modified the recipe to add more protein. You can see the (almost) original here. I was going to further modify it to make it without sugar, but when I was making them I was really craving the crunch and sweetness of the sugar in these. I bet you could substitute it with a variety of things, being these aren't actually a baked good. Sweetened coconut flakes might be nice, as would a touch of agave (and then eliminate the water in the recipe).
No-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Balls (served on 2/28/10)
3/4 cup rolled oats
2 scoops vegan protein powder
1/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegan butter (Earth Balance Buttery Sticks are the best)
2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, protein powder, sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix in the water, vanilla extract, vegan butter, and peanut butter to form a dough.
Roll the dough into balls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (it made 11 balls for me). Chill on a baking sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes before eating. YUM!
