Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups oats (not cross contaminated with gluten)
  • 1 cup ground flax seed
  • 1 cup refined sugar free chocolate chips or raisins or 1/2 cup of each
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • 2/3 cup honey

Method
 

  1. Measure the dry ingredients and place in a medium sized bowl. This includes oats, ground flax seed, refined sugar free chocolate chips or raisins, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
  2. Add the almond butter and honey and stir until thoroughly combined.
  3. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to make the mixture less sticky and easier to work with.
  4. Roll mixture in your hands to create 20 balls. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate. Chill for at least 20 minutes prior to eating. Chilling overnight is best.
  5. Energy balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. (After a week they may start to dry out.)
