Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup oat flour*
• 1 cup almond meal or almond flour**
• ¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
• 1 cup raw, creamy almond butter***
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips

Directions

• In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir to combine the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour and salt.
• Add the wet ingredients: almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir until fully incorporated. The mixture will be thick. If you see dry flour, you may need to add a bit more almond butter.
• Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
• Use your hands to form the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon of dough each and about 1 inch in diameter). You can enjoy the energy balls right away at room temperature. To store, place the energy balls in a container and store in your refrigerator.
• To last even longer, you can also store the balls in your freezer and allow them to thaw out a couple of minutes before enjoying each one. For this, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. On the baking sheet leave a little space in between each ball. Place the baking sheet on an even surface in your refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
• Before enjoying, allow the energy ball to thaw out at room temperature for a couple of minutes. To speed up this process you can microwave an energy ball for 15 seconds to help soften it a bit. Some people even like to enjoy them straight out of the freezer and dont mind the hard texture. Up to you!
