Ugali Stuffed Energy Balls are a creative fusion of traditional Kenyan cuisine and modern snacking. These wholesome bites combine nutrient-rich ugali with natural sweeteners like dates, energy-boosting oats, and creamy peanut butter to form a snack that’s both satisfying and nourishing. Perfect for a quick breakfast, post-workout fuel, or an afternoon pick-me-up, these energy balls celebrate the familiar taste of ugali in a fun, convenient way. They're easy to make, easy to carry, and a hit with all ages. Christmas is just around the corner and I cannot believe it! Okay enough excitement. Today's recipe is something I have been playing with in my head . I cant believe it actually turned out so great. Kenyans do love their Ugali so I kept thinking how I can make it into a savory sort of snack but still maintaining its authenticity.
