Notes

You can substitute creamy peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free version—just use one with a similar consistency. Maple syrup or agave works just as well as honey for a vegan option. If the mixture sticks to your hands while rolling, dampen your palms lightly with water. The finished balls are freezer-friendly for up to a month; freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a bag or container. Serve with yogurt, fruit, or as a portable snack for lunches, workouts, or travel.
