Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
- 0.33 cups Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional for added texture and nutrition)
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips (optional for extra indulgence)
- 1 pinches Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, cocoa powder, and chia seeds (if using). Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until the mixture has a sticky, cohesive texture.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, if using, for a touch of extra sweetness and texture.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it between your hands to form bite-sized balls.
Place the rolled chocolate balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up before serving.
Store the chocolate balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze them for longer storage.
Enjoy as a healthy snack, dessert, or energy-boosting treat!
