Ingredients
- 1 cup wheat germ
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat germ, rolled oats, dried cranberries, mini chocolate chips, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Use a spatula or clean hands to mix until all the ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough.
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, portion out the dough and roll it between your palms to form small balls. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Place the wheat germ balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate. If desired, refrigerate for 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Store the wheat germ balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a healthy snack or quick energy boost!
