  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 20 roasted, unsalted almonds

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Refrigerator
  • Plastic wrap
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • small cookie scoop

Method
 

Preparation Phase 1: Mixing the Base
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your old-fashioned oats, toasted shredded coconut, creamy peanut butter, ground flaxseed, semisweet chocolate chips, honey, optional chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir all ingredients together until thoroughly combined, ensuring a uniform, sticky mixture with no dry spots.
Preparation Phase 2: Chilling for Perfection
  1. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and well-chilled. This step is crucial for easier rolling. For quicker chilling, spread the mixture on a small baking sheet and freeze for 20-30 minutes.
Preparation Phase 3: Forming Your Energy Balls
  1. Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. With slightly damp hands (to prevent sticking), scoop out spoonfuls and roll the mixture into roughly 1-inch balls. As you form each ball, gently press a single roasted, unsalted almond into its center.
Preparation Phase 4: Enjoy or Store
  1. Your delicious Energy Balls are now ready to enjoy immediately! The flavors will be vibrant and the texture perfectly chewy. For longer enjoyment, refer to the detailed storage instructions below.

Notes

Ensure mixture is thoroughly chilled before rolling for best results. Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months (flash-freeze first to prevent sticking). See article for vegan, GF, and customization tips.
