Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw sunflower seeds
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the sunflower seeds and rolled oats. Pulse until they form a fine, crumbly texture.
Add the dried apricots, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture starts to come together.
If the mixture is too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time and continue to process until it becomes a sticky, pliable dough.
Scoop out approximately one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to one month.
