Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For extra crunch and an added boost of protein, try rolling the formed balls in crushed roasted chickpeas or pumpkin seeds before baking or air-frying.
- If you prefer a spicier snack, mix in a small amount of finely chopped pickled jalapeños or a dash of smoked paprika and cayenne pepper to the mixture.
- To make these balls even more portable for on-the-go breakfasts, shape them slightly flatter and bake as mini patties—perfect for tucking into whole grain wraps or breakfast sandwiches.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, and reheat them in a toaster oven or air fryer for a crisp exterior while maintaining their soft center.
