    Recently made these. They’re a perfect on-the-go healthy treat. I made 4 different ones: one with chia seeds, one with cacao nibs. One with dried cranberries, and a really decadent one with chocolate and butterscotch chips. I had enough left over to then combine all 4 doughs to make ‘everything’ balls. Yummy!

    My review no one asked for:
    Made these, didn't have any flax seeds, so I used vanilla protein powder instead. Added a tsp of cocoa powder and some dark chocolate nibs too. Used almond butter instead of the peanut one and didn't add any other oil: the mixture was oily and sticky enough.
    For some reason, when freshly rolled, the texture of the balls is kinda odd - too sticky and like they are about to melt or fall apart. I was leaving for a picnic and in a rush, so I put half of into the freezer for later and baked half of them for 10 minutes in 185 C oven. It was a good idea - they were harder on the outside which kept them in shape, but still super soft on the inside, and the taste was amazing.
    Not sure why, but the ones I put into freezer taste even better. I can bite into them even right after I take them out and I love the texture - like cookie dough ice cream. Gonna make more one day, but it's so hard to have just one!
    Have a lovely day everyone!

  • @KeanuV111
    @KeanuV111 4 роки тому +15

    Amazing recipe. Few things I found:
    1. There is a huge difference with the end result when using standard rolled oats vs quick oats. My suggestion: don't bother with rolled oats, the texture is way too chunky, and the flavour doesn't get all the way through like with quick oats.
    2. Depending on the dates you have when making the date paste, this ratio may end up not being sweet enough, I had to add a dash of maple syrup to the actual energy ball recipe to bring the sweetness up a tad, but I made my date paste with dates that are not extremely sweet.
    With those things in mind, it's an amazing, easy to make, healthy recipe. I have these every day for breakfast with my coffee now ❤️

      I tried the recipe and I would say mine turned out to be really soft. I am not sure if it was because I had too much of the date paste ratio in comparison to other items. Or if my date paste had too much water. Did you put the water into the blender when making the date paste ? My texture was very different to his, like a pudding .. any advice would be helpful .. thanks !

      Shawn Frank Hey 👋
      Yeah I put the water in to make the date paste. It sounds like you may have just added a little too much water in is all. I’d suggest trying again with less water when making the date paste, and also perhaps try looking up a recipe for date paste just so you can get a nice ratio. I had no trouble when I put my dates in a jar and putting in just enough water to cover them though. Best of luck 😁

    • @hijodelaisla275
      @hijodelaisla275 3 роки тому

      I'm not sure what you mean by "necessary." Flaxseed is a good source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid. This is important because your body does not produce this essential fatty acid and you must get it from a food source. In the video, he said that he was including the flaxseed for this reason. Hugs right back at you!
