BANK BALLS – Tasty Homemade Version of Commercial Athletic Snacks

  • 24 dried figs
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 tbsp. orange juice
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tbsp. canola oil
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup oat bran
  • 1-2 cups vanilla whey powder or soy protein powder (too much will make a gluey texture)

Mix figs, honey, orange juice, and 2 tbsp. lemon juice in food processor. Mix on “chop” setting until fig bits are finely cut.

Put other ingredients except oat bran in mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer for 3-4 minutes at medium speed. Add the fig mixture and blend until texture is like play dough.

Roll 20-24 balls about the size of a golf ball and coat with oat bran poured on a plate. Place the balls on pan and bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Place in refrigerator to harden.
