So the pictures kind of make these look like they're just regular little protein balls, but just to bring things into perspective, they are the size of a scoop of ice cream (because I actually use an ice cream scoop to form them). The recipe makes 2 dozen balls...it's a BIG batch! So here goes...
Combine the oats, flour, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, flax seeds, cinnamon, sea salt, raisins and chocolate chips in a large bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together the honey, water, molasses, applesauce and almond milk.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Form into large balls using an ice cream scoop, as well as your hands if needed to keep each ball packed nice and firm. Place the balls on parchment lined sheets.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 20 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks and store in the fridge in an airtight container.
And voila! That's it. Sometimes I even make 2 batches of dry ingredients and keep one stored for my next batch!
Enjoy!

Recipe Tips:
*I use my own ground wheat flour, either hard red or hard white.
**If you are wanting to make the balls refined sugar-free, omit the chocolate chips, or replace them with nuts or more raisins.
***I use unsweetened almond milk, but if you want to make the balls nut-free, I recommend using rice milk or another nut-free plant milk.
