Nutella Day Recipe: Healthy-ish Peanut Butter & Nutty Nutella Balls




This recipe really needs no introduction. Not only do these little chocolate balls of goodness taste good, they are also healthy - would you believe it? These are the answer to having a healthy yet naughty snack during the day, an after dinner treat and they are a great alternative to snacking on certain things throughout the day like hmmm, I don't know...mint slice biscuits! Not only are these treats yummy and healthy-ish, they are a snack to make. This recipe makes 10 and should only take you 5 mins to make plus around an hour to set in the fridge. 

Ingredients 
1tbs Chia seeds – white or black, either are fine.
3tbs Oat Meal
5tbs Sunflower Kernals
1tbs Nutella
1tbs Whipped Peanut Butter – Normal peanut butter will work too

How to
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and then add in the Nutella and peanut butter. 

Combine until it makes an even sticky consistency that can be rolled into balls. 

Once your balls are done, you can either leave them plain (although they tend to be a little sticky) or you can roll them in toppings. I rolled mine: Oat Meal, Chia Seeds, Desiccated Coconut (my fav) and Sesame Seeds. 

Then just chuck them in the fridge for an hour to set.

Another good idea for kids is to use sprinkles or a mix of both the sprinkles and chia seeds.

See? What did I tell you - Simple! You wouldn't even guess but looking at them that they are full of healthy nuts and grains.
