Certainly! Oatmeal Almond Butter Energy Balls are a delicious and nutritious snack that’s easy to make. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt (optional)
- Additional coatings (e.g., shredded coconut, cocoa powder, chopped nuts) for rolling (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), ground flaxseed, chopped almonds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a bit more almond butter or honey to achieve the desired consistency.
- Once the mixture is well combined, let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle and shape into balls.
- After chilling, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
- If you like, you can roll the balls in shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
- Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least another 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Once they are firm, transfer the energy balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for a quick and healthy snack.
These Oatmeal Almond Butter Energy Balls are not only tasty but also packed with nutrients from oats, almond butter, and flaxseed, making them a great choice for a quick energy boost during the day. Enjoy!
