This recipe is a fantastic Fairtrade Fortnight activity for adults and children to do together, but be warned: it just might give you Super Powers!
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp mixed seeds, like chia, flaxseeds or hemp
- 2 tbsp Fairtrade peanut butter or WOW butter (peanut-free peanut butter)
- 2 tbsp Fairtrade honey (or agave or maple syrup)
- 1/2 tsp Fairtrade vanilla extract
- A handful of grated Fairtrade white or milk chocolate, cocoa powder or desiccated coconut
Other things to try: any dried fruit like apricots, cranberries and raisins, Fairtrade cinnamon.
Method
- Put the oats, seeds, dried fruit and chocolate chips in a bowl. Give it a good mix.
- Then add the peanut butter, honey and vanilla extract and stir it all together.
- Divide the mix into 8 portions then lightly wet your hands with water and squeeze each piece into a ball.
- Put the grated chocolate on a dinner plate and sit the balls on it. Gently shake or wobble the plate so the balls roll around and get covered in the chocolate.
- Put them in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up and keep in the fridge until you need to top up your Super Powers!
