Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 2 tbsp hemp seeds

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (almond, cashew, or sunbutter; sunbutter used)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, shredded coconut, ground flax seeds, hemp seeds, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated into a consistent mixture.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up, which makes rolling easier.
  3. Form Energy Balls: Once chilled, take the mixture out and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter, or your preferred size. Use your hands to press and shape them gently but firmly.
  4. Store Properly: Place the formed energy balls in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator where they will keep fresh for up to one week, perfect for snacking throughout the week.

Notes

  • You can customize the nut butter according to your preference or dietary needs; almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter all work well.
  • For added texture or flavor, consider mixing in mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or chopped nuts.
  • These energy balls can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw in the refrigerator before eating.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to suit your taste.
  • If you prefer a crunchy texture, use old-fashioned oats instead of quick cooking oats.
