Recipe: Vegan Snacky Ball Things

Here is the family member with the most food allergies: wheat and all gluten, dairy, eggs, pineapple, cranberry, cabbage, mango, papaya, flax seeds, tree nuts, peanuts and probably a few others I'm forgetting right now. Our daughter just has tree nuts and peanuts to avoid. Our oldest son has tree nuts, peanuts, peas, all beans and legumes (chick peas, lentils, etc.) except soy beans (edamame) maybe. We could never be vegetarians or follow a raw food diet.

I've made these delicious snacky ball things for Girl Scouts a couple of times and have been asked for the recipe. I'll list how I make them, but substitutions abound as long as the proportions are the same.

Vegan Snacky Ball Things

1/2 cup each of rice flour, gluten-free oats, safe sunflower seeds and cocoa powder.

Mix these up pretty well. Then add:


1/2 cup soy bean butter and 1/2 cup of maple syrup

Mix, form into small balls and roll into crushed rice cereal so they don't stick together.

They have everything you want in a snack - sweet, salt, crunch, chocolate. Plus a nice amount of protein.
