Peanut Butter Balls | GF • DF • Vegan • Better-For-You

Peanut butter balls were always my favourite cookie in our Christmas box growing up — but they were loaded with icing sugar 😅

This version is naturally sweetened, nutrient-dense, and totally guilt-free.

✨ Customizable & flexible

• Swap walnuts for any nut you love

• Use peanut, almond, or your favourite nut butter

• Sub puffed quinoa for crispy rice

• Or use crushed cornflakes for a Butterfinger-style twist 😍

• ¼ cup walnuts, finely chopped

• ¼ cup maple syrup
