Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 10 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas), unsalted
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the rolled oats, sunflower seed butter, Medjool dates, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and honey or maple syrup.
Step 2
Pulse the mixture together until it is well combined and forms a sticky dough. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more sunflower seed butter or a splash of water.
Step 3
Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Repeat this process until all of the mixture is used, yielding about 16 energy balls.
Step 4

Step 5
Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy them as a quick snack or energy boost throughout the day.
