1 batch

Prep. Time:

Total Time:

Ingredients:

1 cup carob powder
1 cup water
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
3/4 cup wheat germ
3/4 cup rolled oats
2 tbsp. dry milk powder
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
1/2 tsp. grated orange rind (optional)

Directions:

In a small saucepan, combine the carob and water. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Add the honey and peanut butter and continue cooking for approximately 5 minutes, or until syrup is smooth and slightly thickened.

In a large bowl mix together the wheat germ, oats, milk powder, coconut, cinnamon and orange rind (if desired). Pour approximately one cup of the carob syrup over the dry mixture, or as much as is needed to make a pliable, dough-like consistency. Store the remainder in the refrigerator and use as an icing or to make great milk shakes.

Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll each piece between your palms into 2-inch-long tubes the circumference of a fountain pen, tapered at one end in the shape of a baseball bat. Roll the rest into marble-sized balls.

Comments from Kathleen Morrison :

Yield: 1 batch = 18 bats and 18 balls.

Approximately 80 calories in each set.
