White Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls
These white-chocolate peanut-butter energy balls, created by Breakfast Criminals founder Ksenia Avdulova, taste like dessert—but unlike that chocolate-chip cookie you’ve been eyeing at your local bakery, these are completely good for you.
Ingredients
- 1½ cup (225 g) raw cashews
- ½ cup (100 g) hemp seeds
- ½ cup (120 ml) unsalted crunchy peanut butter
- ½ cup (120 ml) cacao butter
- ½ cup (120 ml) coconut butter
- ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
Directions
- Melt cacao butter and coconut butter in a saucepan on low heat until the mixture turns into liquid.
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
- Select Variable 1. Start the machine and increase to Variable 5. Blend for 45 seconds.
- Place dough into a large bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes, until it thickens.
- Using a #40 scoop, scoop the dough and form 1-inch balls. Place in an airtight container and store in the fridge.

Melts in your mouth
These are absolutely delicious! I didn’t have cashews on hand so substituted with raw pecans. Also didn’t have crunchy peanut butter so I used regular. The finished mixture was way too soft to form into balls so I added about 3/4 c of finely shredded macaroon coconut flakes. It still seemed too soft, and I was too impatient to wait for it to chill in the refrigerator, so I used a melon baller to scoop the mixture into ice cube trays with some more coconut sprinkled on the bottom of the tray as well as on top after scooping. Let them set in the refrigerator overnight and they were perfect by morning. Just make sure to store in the refrigerator because they soften up again quickly!

One Question?
This recipe is easy - one thing is not clear. In the photo it shows rolling the finished balls in the hemp seed; however, the recipe omits this step and just says to putt all the ingredients in the blender. ???? I'll re-post after tasting.
