This recipe is from a very dear and special friend of mine. She suffers from gluten allergy and therefore she is always looking for new and creative ways for eating healthy and gluten-free.
She gave me her recipe here for these “Healthy Energy Truffles” and I just love it. They are easy to make and can be put in the freezer and taken out to enjoy whenever and whereever you need a good healthy snack.
Perfect snack
They are full of goodness – seeds, raisins, cranberries, honey and chocolate chips.
Healthy Energy Truffles
1/2 cup toasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
1 cup toasted sesame seeds
1 cup quinoa flakes
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup of cocoa powder – or 100g dark good quality chocolate
1 cup dried cranberries
2 cups of peanut butter (1 jar @ 500g)
1/2 cup of honey
1 cup of toasted sesame or coconut seeds to roll the truffles in. I used toasted sesame seeds and a bit of pumpkin seeds.
Everything is mixed well together and made into balls the size of a golf ball and finished of by rolling them in toasted sesame/ pumpkin or coconut. Keep what you need in the fridge and freeze the rest.
Served with a nice cup of tea

Those look incredible Anne!! I need to make these. I love all the ingredients! The only thing I’d change is use maple syrup instead of honey, but I bet these taste amazing!
Thank you Brandi! You are right they would be awesome with maple syrup too or agave.
They taste so good that I will be making them again and again and again ……… 🙂
I think they would also be really fantastic with almond butter or cashew butter too.
Yum! Further proof it’s time that I make something like this … these gorgeous treats are the final straw! These look so yummy, not to mention simple! Thanks Anne!
Ha ha Shira! I think these are right up your alley 🙂 and they are so easy to whip together!
Mmmm healthy truffles – loving it 😀

This is such a simple, healthy, and tasty recipe! I’ll make it regularly, may skip chocolate chips for myself. Thank you so, so much, Anne!
You are so so welcome my friend!
It is so good with or without chocolate chips – hope you will love it 🙂
mmmm they looks similar to the ones i made at Christmas really good texture. i would use agave instead of honey being vegan though.. i have to try these 🙂
These would be just as delicious with agave!
I hope you get a change to make these – they are so good!
Did you blog about the ones you made at Christmas?
Thanks for your comment!
We normally don’t equate “truffle” with “healthy”, but these do look good!
I know, I know, you don’t think of “truffles” as healthy, but no matter what “truffles” are good for the soul 🙂
Your healthy truffles sound great and it is nice that they freeze well.
Hi Karen – thanks for your comment! I still have some in the freezer and it is such a great treat 🙂
Oh, yummy! These look and sound amazing. Could I use almond butter instead of peanut? 🙂
Absolutely they would be just as yummy with almond or cashew butter!
Happy weekend!
