Method

Place oats, currants, peanut butter, vanilla and cinnamon in a food processor and process until smooth and sticking together. 

Drizzle in 2 to 3 tablespoons hot water so that the mixture comes into a ball.

Using a teaspoon, scoop out a heaping spoonful of the mixture.

Roll into a ball, pressing firmly so that it sticks together.
