Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.5 cup crushed nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 10 drops liquid stevia
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, and sea salt.
Add in the crushed nuts and sugar-free chocolate chips, mixing well to ensure an even distribution.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the natural peanut butter (or almond butter), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together when compressed.
Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up.
Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once set, transfer the energy balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
