Two Healthy Snack for Kids - Sun Butter Bites
Ingredients
* 3/4 cup powdered milk
* 1/2 cup crispy brown rice cereal
* 2 tablespoons wheat germ
* 2 tablespoons ground flax seed (optional)
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup unsalted sun butter
* 1/4 cup honey
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
* In a small mixing bowl, stir the powdered milk, cereal, wheat germ, flax seed, and salt until combined. Set aside.
* In a medium mixing bowl, stir the sunflower butter, honey, and vanilla extract with a rubber spatula until combined.
* Add the powdered milk mixture and stir until uniform. The mixture may be on the crumbly side.
* To form into balls, take a tablespoon of the mixture and squeeze it with your hands more than roll it. I pass it back and forth between my hands squeezing and rolling gently with my fingers as I pass. Note: This might be tough for kids to master! If the mixture is too crumbly, add more of something gooey such as honey or even a tablespoon of vegetable, coconut, or flax oil.
