Power Balls
- 24 dried figs
- 13 cup honey
- 4 tablespoons orange juice (out of this, used grapefruit juice!)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 12 cups unbleached flour
- 12 teaspoon baking soda
- 14 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 14 cup dark corn syrup (since I was out of this, I subbed 1/2 light corn syrup and 1/2 molasses. Turned out same as when I u)
- 2 egg whites
- 12 cup oat bran (I have also used wheat bran, and I usually use at least a cup!)
- Add figs, honey, orange juice, and 2 tbsp lemon juice to food processor and chop until fig bits are finely cut.
- Set aside.
- Put all other ingredients (except oat bran) in mixing bowl.
- Beat with electric mixer for 34 minutes at medium speed.
- Add fig mixture and beat until everyting blends.
- Roll 2024 balls and coat with oat bran poured on a plate.
- Place balls on pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until they are warm and a bit puffy.
- Place in refrigerator to harden.
- For crunchier texture, bake 25 minutes longer, or until dough is thoroughly cooked.
- (This is what the original recipe recommends, but I usually end up baking mine at leaset 20 minutes, until the tops of the balls crack a little.)
- Once made, I usually freeze them.
- they can thaw while you're running or biking!
