Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 apple finely chopped
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons powdered PB2
  • 2 tablespoons flax seed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1-3 tsp water if needed for consistency optional
  • 1-3 tsp honey if needed for consistency optional

Instructions

  • Dice granny smith apple. The smaller the better.
  • In a large bowl, combine PB2 with creamy peanut butter. Stir until mixed thoroughly - if the PB2 is not blending well with the peanut butter, add a 1-3 tsp of water until mixture is combined.
  • Add the remainder of the ingredients into the bowl. If needed, add honey to act as a 'glue' **depending on how the apple is diced will impact the overall formation of each bite. Fold until combined.
  • Refrigerate for 10 minutes and form into 2” balls. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Store in the fridge for 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. I like to add a few to individual baggies to easily grab and take on the go.
You can skip the PB2 and use an extra tbsp of peanut butter instead. 
It's best to have the consistency like edible cookie dough, firm enough to stand alone but not too liquidy to not form into balls.
