INSTRUCCIONES

Step 1:

Combine the Dry Ones. In a large bowl, place all the dry ingredients: rolled oats, granola, cacao powder, maca powder, cinnamon, and raisins. Mix a little to distribute them.

Step 2:

Add the Wet Ones. Now, add the moist, gooey ingredients to the bowl: peanut butter, bee honey and vanilla extract.

Step 3:

Join the Mixture. Add the drizzle of coconut milk. With a sturdy spatula or with clean hands, mix and knead all the ingredients until a smooth, sticky dough forms. It will look dry at first, but keep mixing!

Step 4:

Rest (Optional). To make the dough easier to handle, you can take the bowl to the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes. This will help it get a little firmer.

Step 5:

Form the balls. Take approximately one tablespoon portions of the dough and, with the palms of your hands, roll them into compact balls the size of a ping pong ball.

Step 6:

Ready to Enjoy! Place the power balls on a plate. They can eat them instantly or keep them. If you wish, you can give them a final touch by sprinkling a drizzle of honey on top before serving.
