After posting a photo on my Instagram of my breakfast the other day, which included these power balls, I got a few reqests for the recipe, so I decided to create a post to share with everyone!
These were inspired by the ingredients in my Apple Rose Caramel Tart, a low fat raw vegan dessert I served for my birthday guests this year. I took the same basic ingredients and added nuts and oats into the mix and voila, power balls were created.
I posted these scones long ago when I first started my Instagram account, and when I came across the photos in my computer last week, I remembered how delicious these scones were and just had to share the recipe.
I used to make a lot of treats like these when I first went vegan, and I really enjoyed (and still do enjoy) baking. I was living in a dorm room in Davis at the time, so weekends in Berkeley with my brother at his apartment were the only times that I was actually able to cook and bake in a comfortable kitchen. The dorms had a community kitchen, but it wasn't the same. When cooking and baking with a time constraint and, more often than not, in a kitchen full of people I did not even know, I wasn't able to get in the zone if you feel me.
I have realized that cooking is very therapeutic for me, and if any of my readers have not spent time, alone, in the kitchen for a few hours on a saturday afternoon, I suggest you do so. It doesn't matter if you're a professional or amateur, the satisfaction of being able to create and enjoy something YOURSELF is an experience that never gets old. Use the time to mute out all of the stress and commotion in your life at the current moment and relax.
