Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 creamy raw unsweetened almond butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or brown rice syrup
  • 1/4 cup lightly toasted almonds chopped finely
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut + more if needed optional

Instructions

  • To a medium mixing bowl, add the oats, almond butter, syrup, almonds, chocolate chips, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Using a wooden spoon, or gloved hands, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. A semi-sticky ball of “dough” should come together.
  • Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until the ball is set and easy to roll into smaller balls.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment or wax paper. Place the shredded coconut in a shallow bowl.
  • Using a tablespoon size cookie scoop or a tablespoon, take a scoopful of the almond mixture and roll it in your hands to form a bite-size ball. Roll the ball in the coconut to lightly coat. If you have trouble getting the shredded coconut, dip the ball in a little maple syrup first. Place the ball on the sheet pan and continue until you have made approximately 32 balls.
  • Place the sheet pan back in the refrigerator to allow the almond balls to set up again.
  • Serve the almond energy balls when chilled or store in an air-tight container in the fridge for several days.
