Peanut Butter Sesame Seed Balls

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup oats
• 3 tablespoons ground flax seed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 2/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds

Directions

Whisk flour, oats, ground flax seed, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl; add peanut butter and honey and mix until thoroughly combined. Shape mixture into teaspoon-size balls.

Pour about 1/2 the sesame seeds into a large frying pan and cook over low heat, stirring or shaking the pan every minute until fragrant and toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer toasted seeds to a bowl and toast remaining sesame seeds.

Spread toasted seeds into a wide, shallow bowl. Roll peanut butter balls in the toasted sesame seeds to evenly coat.
