Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Natural almond butter
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, ground flaxseed, and chia seeds. Stir together until evenly mixed.

Step 2

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the natural almond butter and honey. Microwave this mixture on high for about 15-20 seconds just to slightly warm and make it easier to blend.

Step 3

Once warmed, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture, and stir until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the almond butter mixture over the oat mixture. Add the water and mix everything together with a spatula or your hands until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add an additional tablespoon of water and mix again.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used, forming approximately 12 energy balls.

Step 7

Place the energy balls onto a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Step 9

Once chilled, the energy balls are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
