Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a food processor. Process until they form a sticky ball.
Add the rolled oats, sunflower seed butter, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt to the food processor.
Pulse until the mixture is well combined and the oats are finely chopped. It should be sticky enough to form balls. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more sunflower seed butter or a splash of water and pulse again.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in mini chocolate chips, if using.
Use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to make approximately 12 energy balls.
Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for at least an hour to set.
Once set, store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
