Ingredients
2ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
1cuprolled oats
⅔cupvanilla plant-based protein powder(about 2 scoops; I used NOW® Sports Organic Vanilla Plant Protein)
¾cuppecans
¼cupgolden raisins(or dates)
2tbsphoney
1 ½tspground cinnamon
Instructions
Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor (I use a mini processor). Pulse until combined. You may need to scrape down the sides once or twice and pulse again to incorporate all ingredients.
Roll into 16 balls. (The mixture will seem a bit sticky while rolling; this is normal – they will firm up in the fridge.) Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for optimal texture.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
Notes
The mixture may stick to your hands a bit but should be rollable. If you find it to be so sticky that it cannot be rolled into balls (which may happen with very juicy peaches or certain protein powders), add an extra ¼ cup oats to the food processor and pulse again. This should make it firm enough to handle.
