Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a uniform mixture with all ingredients well incorporated.
  2. Shape the Energy Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
  3. Bake and Cool: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the energy balls for 10 to 12 minutes until they turn lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet before handling.
  4. Enjoy and Store: Once cooled, the energy balls are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

  • If the mixture feels too dry and crumbly, add a little extra almond butter or honey to help it bind better.
  • If the mixture is too sticky to handle, refrigerate for 30 minutes before shaping into balls.
  • For additional sweetness, roll the balls in cinnamon sugar before baking.
  • Customize your energy balls by adding chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips to the mixture as desired.
  • A no-bake option is available: skip the baking and refrigerate the shaped balls for 1-2 hours; these will have a softer texture.
