Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Natural almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or almonds)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 2
Add the almond butter, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and you achieve a sticky mixture that holds together.
Step 3
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) into the mixture. Ensure that these are evenly distributed throughout the mix.
Step 4
Place the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Chilling the mixture will make it easier to handle and shape.
Step 5
After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon as a measure, scoop out the mix and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Continue the process until you've used up the entire mixture.
Step 6
Arrange the energy balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 7
Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy as a quick snack or a healthy energy boost throughout your day.
