Almond Butter Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup Natural Almond Butter
drippy, fresh from the jar
- 6 tablespoons Brown Rice Syrup
or maple syrup
- 1 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Ground Flaxseed
- 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1-2 tablespoons Water
use if needed, dough is too dry
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
Directions
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine fresh drippy almond butter, brown rice syrup, and vanilla extract if used, until thick and creamy.
- 2
Stir in oats, ground flaxseed, and salt if used. The batter is difficult to stir, so grease your hands with coconut oil to knead and squeeze the batter. If too dry, add 1-2 extra tablespoons of water.
- 3
Fold in the chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.
- 4
Refrigerate the bowl for 10-15 minutes - this makes the batter easier to roll into energy balls as it gives the fiber time to absorb the liquid.
- 5
Meanwhile, line a plate with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- 6
Remove the bowl from the fridge. Lightly oil your hands with coconut oil and roll about 1-2 tablespoons of batter between your hands.
- 7
Place each energy bite onto the prepared plate and repeat these steps until all the batter has been turned into bliss balls.
- 8
Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 6 days or freeze and thaw at room temperature the day before.
