Coconut Almond Energy Balls
Coconut Almond Protein Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted almonds
- 1/2 cup mini or regular semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and stir to combine. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more oats and/or coconut. If it’s too dry, add a bit more peanut butter. It should resemble a slightly sticky dough that holds together when lightly squeezed. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set (this will make the balls easier to roll later on).
- Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and portion the dough into balls of desired size - I use a rounded tablespoon to scoop and portion, then roll. Enjoy!
Notes
Energy Balls are something we make often in our house - I know there are many variations, and this one is my favorite. I recommend using the old school creamy peanut butter here - think Jiff or Skippy. The natural kind will work, but it won't mix in as smoothly. If you have a nut allergy, you can substitute sunflower butter here too.
