Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups regular oats
- 1/2 cup dry pitted dates
- 1/3 cup Simple Truth almond butter
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Simple Truth raw honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons water
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Add the regular oats, dry pitted dates, almond butter, ground flaxseed, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Blend the mixture until the ingredients are finely diced and well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil, raw honey, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water into the food processor. Blend again until the mixture becomes sticky, ensuring it binds together enough to form balls. Add more water if necessary.
- Form Energy Balls: Using your hands, roll the sticky mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and place them onto a sheet of parchment paper to keep them from sticking.
- Make the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine the coconut sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and mix well.
- Coat the Energy Balls: Roll each energy ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to evenly coat the surface, enhancing flavor and texture.
- Store and Serve: Enjoy the energy balls immediately or store them in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator. They can be kept chilled until ready to eat, maintaining freshness and texture.
Notes
- Adjust water quantity to get the right consistency for rolling the balls; the mixture should be sticky but not too wet.
- Store energy balls in the refrigerator for up to 1 week for best freshness.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- These energy balls are naturally sweetened with dates and honey, making them a healthier snack option.
- Ground flaxseed boosts fiber and omega-3 fatty acids content.
