Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, and sliced almonds until evenly mixed, ensuring an even distribution of textures for balanced flavor in every bite.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) into the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, forming a sticky and cohesive base.
  3. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the mixture, taking care to keep them intact and evenly dispersed throughout the batter for occasional bursts of chocolatey sweetness.
  4. Shape into balls: Roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls using your hands or a scoop. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  5. Chill to set: Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up, making them easier to handle and enhancing their texture before serving.

Notes

  • Store energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Customize by adding dried fruits like cranberries or raisins if desired.
  • Feel free to substitute almond butter with peanut or cashew butter for variation.
  • Allow the balls to come to room temperature for a few minutes before eating if they are too firm from chilling.
