Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Natural almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or almonds)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the almond butter, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and you achieve a sticky mixture that holds together.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) into the mixture. Ensure that these are evenly distributed throughout the mix.
Place the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Chilling the mixture will make it easier to handle and shape.
After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon as a measure, scoop out the mix and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Continue the process until you've used up the entire mixture.
Arrange the energy balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy as a quick snack or a healthy energy boost throughout your day.
