OK, this is going to seem like a strange recipe, but it's great especially when you are craving something sweet, but want to be better about not eating the sweets.
Peanut Butter Balls...
3 c rolled oats (Pull out 1/3 c)
1/2 c raw pumpkin seeds
3/4 c raw sunflowers(Pull out 1/4 and add to 1/3 c oats)
In coffee grinder, food processor or really good blender combing dry ingredients and blend till flour like. (You may need to break it down, but it does work in a blender)
remove and set aside
Blend raisins (and I add a 1/2 c apricots) until chopped a bit
add to "flour blend)
stir in 3/4 c almond or peanut butter
1/2 c agave syrup (found in the organic section of Fred Meyers
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 c shredded coconut
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Stir all together. You may need to use your hands. roll the mixture into walnut size balls and roll in nuts or oats or more coconut (some have even rolled this in mini chocolate chips for a treat.) I usually blend this oats and sunflowers set aside earlier and roll mine in the powder.
freeze 20 minutes and store in the fridge. Makes 24-30 balls.! mmmmm
