No Bake Energy Balls

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter)
  • 1/3 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips (70%+, optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Stir everything together in a large bowl until fully combined. If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash of almond milk. If too sticky, add a spoonful more oats.
  2. Refrigerate the mixture for 15–20 minutes so it firms up and is easier to roll.
  3. Roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter (roughly 1 tablespoon each).
  4. Place on a parchment-lined plate or tray and chill another 15 minutes to set.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
