Notes
TIPS, FAQs + SUBSTITUTIONS
- Use a fresh jar of peanut butter for best results. The drippy nature of a fresh jar ensures your balls won't be crumbly and they will hold together really well.
- Substitute a variety of nut butters like almond butter or cashew butter. Even coconut butter or sunflower seed butter would work if you want a nut free option.
- If you are vegan you can swap in pure maple syrup or brown rice syrup instead of honey.
- Add dried fruit like cranberries or raisins for an extra sweet flavor.
- Are hemp hearts good for weight loss? Hemp hearts are both a natural appetite suppressant and full of fiber. This helps keep you satisfied and fuller for longer.
