Ingredients
Chocolate Chip Energy Balls:
- 1 1/4 cups rolled oats - I only had porridge oats but these were also fine
- 2 tbsp 'power mix-ins' - chia/flax/hemp seeds
- 1/2 cup peanut butter - If you'd rather use Almond or any other nut butter swap it out for your preference
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips - see below for some alternative mix-ins that you can swap the chocolate chips out for
White Chocolate and Cranberry:
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Trail Mix
- 3 tbsp chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp chopped peanuts
- 2 tbsp raisins
Double Chocolate:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
White Chocolate and Cinnamon:
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Place all of the base ingredients in to a large bowl along with your chosen mix-ins and stir until well combined. If the mix seems too wet add some more oats, too dry add some more nut butter. Once mixed the dough should form a sticky dough.
- Put the bowl in the fridge for around 30 minutes to set
- Take the bowl out of the fridge and roll into balls of around 1 inch in size, this should give you about 18 balls.
Notes:
These energy balls can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or frozen for later.If you have a nut allergy why not try sunflower seed butter instead.Feel free to come up with your own flavour mix-ins and let me know which flavours you find work for you. Once you have this base its really adaptable.Recipe adapted from WellPlated.com
