Instructions
- After thoroughly rinsing the garbanzo beans, place the beans between several layers of paper towels and start smashing them. You want to try and smash and squeeze as much liquid as you can out of them.
- Add the smashed garbanzo beans to a food processor or blender, then blend until they become a paste.
- Add the honey, cocoa, salt, and coconut and blend them in until completely combined.
- Pour contents into a medium-sized bowl and stir in the peanut butter.
- Place the bowl in the fridge to firm up the mix for about 30 minutes.
- Blend oatmeal coarsely in a high-speed blender and mix into the chilled mixture. Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, shape the rounded protein balls. Place balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place them back into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
- Eat them as is or optional to roll balls lightly in coconut flakes, cocoa powder, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or powdered sugar.
- Keep in the fridge in a sealed container for up to two weeks.
