Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Natural almond butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, ground flaxseed, and chia seeds. Stir together until evenly mixed.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the natural almond butter and honey. Microwave this mixture on high for about 15-20 seconds just to slightly warm and make it easier to blend.
Once warmed, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture, and stir until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the oat mixture. Add the water and mix everything together with a spatula or your hands until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add an additional tablespoon of water and mix again.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used, forming approximately 12 energy balls.
Place the energy balls onto a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Once chilled, the energy balls are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
