Recipes

why make this recipe

Energy balls are a fantastic snack option that is easy to make and packed with nutrients. They are great for a quick energy boost, whether you need a pick-me-up before or after a workout, or simply a healthy treat during your day. With wholesome ingredients like nuts, dates, and oats, these bites are not only tasty but also provide a good balance of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. They are perfect for busy people, kids, and anyone looking for a delicious, nutritious snack.

how to make Energy Balls

Ingredients:

1½ cups oat flour
1 cup walnuts
⅓ cup creamy natural almond butter (well-stirred)
10 soft Medjool dates
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water (plus more as needed)
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

In a food processor, place the oat flour, walnuts, almond butter, dates, vanilla extract, water, and sea salt.
Pulse the mixture until it sticks together when you pinch it. If it feels too crumbly, add more water, one teaspoon at a time, and pulse again.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the mixture and roll it into balls.
Store any extra energy balls in the fridge. They also freeze well. To thaw, leave them at room temperature until soft.

how to serve Energy Balls

Energy balls are very versatile and can be served in various ways. You can enjoy them as a quick snack anytime you feel hungry. They are great for lunchboxes, post-workout fuel, or even as a dessert. Pair them with a glass of milk or a smoothie for a well-rounded snack.

how to store Energy Balls

To keep your energy balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for about a week. If you want to keep them for longer, you can freeze them. Just place them in a freezer-safe container and they can last for several months.

tips to make Energy Balls

Make sure your dates are soft to blend well. If they’re hard, soak them in warm water for a few minutes.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or fewer dates based on your taste.
Experiment with different nut butters like peanut or cashew butter for a different flavor.

variation

You can customize energy balls by adding other ingredients like shredded coconut, seeds (like chia or flaxseed), or different spices (like cinnamon or cocoa powder). This way, you can create a flavor profile that you love.

FAQs

Can I use other nuts instead of walnuts?
Yes! You can use any nuts you like, such as almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts.

How long do energy balls last?
When stored in the fridge, they can last about one week. In the freezer, they can last for several months.

Can I make these energy balls nut-free?
Absolutely! You can use sun butter or pumpkin seed butter as a nut-free alternative. Just make sure to check for allergies.
