Crushed Graham Crackers + Lime = Key Lime Pie Power Balls!

Despite chillier temperatures, I was still inspired to make these more summer-themed Power Balls after discovering graham cracker crumbs as a possible addition to the dry ingredients. And what goes better with graham cracker crumbs than key lime pie?! So here's my rendition:

Laura's Key Lime Pie Power Balls

Combine:
1 c. Bulgar Wheat
1 c. Water
Let soak for at least 20 minutes.

Mix Dry Ingredients:
3 c. Oats (chopped)
2 c. Graham Cracker Crumbs
0.5 c. Wheat Bran
0.25 c. Flaxseed Meal
0.75 c. Nonfat Dry Milk
3 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder

Mix Wet Ingredients:
6 oz Honey Flavored Greek Yogurt
0.25 c. Grapefruit Juice
0.25 c. Lemon Juice
Juice from 2 Limes
0.75 c. Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
0.5 tsp Lemon Extract

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients.

Shape into rounded balls on greased cookie sheets. 
This batter turned out well for shaping/manipulating the Power Balls into actual ball shapes. See?!

Bake at 325F for around 8-10 minutes.

Makes approximately 75 balls.
