Description

Ingredients

• homemade chai spice blend:
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp cardamom
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ⅛ tsp all spice
• ⅛ ground cloves
• ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
• 1¼ cups gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 TBS espresso powder (use ½ TBS for less flavor, or up to 1.5 TBS for stronger taste)
• 1 TBS chia seeds
• ½ cup creamy natural nut or seed butter (I used homemade)
• ⅓ cup honey or brown rice syrup
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 TBS cacao nibs (or mini chocolate chips)

Directions

• In a large bowl combine oats, chai spice blend, espresso powder, chia seeds and cacao nibs/ mini chocolate chips..
• Add in nut butter, honey or brown rice syrup, and vanilla extract. Use sturdy spatula or spoon to combine.
• Once ingredients have come together, place bowl in freezer for about 10 minutes (or fridge for 20 minutes). The cold mixture will make forming the energy balls a lot easier.
• Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture into rounded balls and roll between palms to shape. You should get roughly 18-20 balls. Enjoy with your morning chai or coffee!
