Energy Balls: A Delicious Recipe for Toddlers
Energy balls aren't just delicious - they're also fun to make with kids. Let's get started and try making these energy-packed snacks together.
A Simple Recipe for Delicious Energy Balls
You'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup Alete fruit and grain porridge
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup ground nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or cashews)
- ½ cup dried fruit (e.g., raisins, apricots, or dates), coarsely chopped
- 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt
And the following baking supplies:
- Baking paper
Here's how it works:
- Mix the fruit puree with the rolled oats, ground nuts, dried fruit, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl
- Stir the ingredients together thoroughly
- Let the mixture rest for about 10–15 minutes so the rolled oats swell slightly and the mixture is easier to shape
- Use your hands to shape the mixture into small balls
- Place the energy balls on a tray lined with parchment paper or in airtight containers
- Refrigerate the balls for at least one hour so they hold their shape
