These snack balls do not contain wheat, dairy or egg.
Happy Friday! I can't believe how quickly the week is flying by. We've been busy playing at home and doing just a few errands here and there. My two kiddos are home bodies like their Mama and now that they have a new stash of toys from Santa, they have no reason or desire to go out. I can't blame them.
I've been meaning to use the rainbow sprinkles we buy for ice cream in my baking for a while. This recipe came together in my head as I was making dinner and then I had to try it after I had the kitchen clean (why do I always do this?). My Little Guy came over right away when he saw I was baking. He seems intrigued by the whole process since they do some light cooking at his school. By light cooking, I mean smoothies and baking from a box.
Here are the details for these fun snack balls:
Ingredients:
3 bananas (mashed)
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill coconut flour (+2tbsp)
1 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (gluten-free)
2 tbsp ground flax seed +6 tbsp water
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
*****************************************************************
Preheat the oven to 350F and spray the bottom of a donut hole tray with oil. Mix 2 tbsp of ground flax seed with water and allow to sit for about 10 minutes until it has a gel-like consistency. Peel and mash the bananas. Incorporate the rest of the wet ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and let sit for about 10 min. Scoop out 1.5 tbsp/protein ball. Bake the balls at 350F for 22 minutes. Allow to cool or a rack. Enjoy!
How cute do these look? Sprinkles make everything fun, don't they? My Little Guy got all excited about these. Here are the nutrition facts:
I like how they are low in sugar but have a good amount of protein in them. These donut holes are the perfect size for little hands. If you can get them excited about them, it's worth making a batch. Right now, we are in a tough stretch with my Little Guy at meal time. He's turned very picky with his food so I take any opportunity I can to get some good nutrition in him.
Thank you for reading this post!
