Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 1/4 cups uncooked oatmeal
  • 1 1/3 cups Total cereal crushed
  • 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
  • 5 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 1 envelope unflavored agar-agar powder
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 large raw egg shell washed and crushed

Method
 

  1. Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the oatmeal, crushed Total cereal, wheat germ, and agar-agar powder to the bowl.
  3. Pour in the unsulphured molasses and melted coconut oil.
  4. Crack the raw egg into the bowl and crush the clean shell into small pieces, then add it to the mixture.
  5. Use clean hands to mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly combined and no dry pockets remain.
  6. Pinch off portions of the mixture and roll them between your hands to form balls about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  7. Continue shaping until all of the mixture is used, making about 24 balls.
  8. Place the satin balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until firm or freeze in a single layer before transferring to a container.
