I’ve been eyeing these little protein & energy balls that are all over Pinterest, but had yet to try my hand at them.
I first made this recipe a decade ago when Larabars were really en vogue. But I wanted something that was a little more treat like.
So, as usual, I mixed and matched and found a winning combo. And here we are in 2026 and I again made some updates and am loving how this version turned out.
