Peanut Energy Balls (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/3 cup protein powder you like best.
02 -
1 tablespoon plant-based mini chocolate chips (if vegan, use vegan ones).
03 -
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional to include).
04 -
1 tablespoon chia seeds for texture.
05 -
1/3 cup ground flaxseed.
06 -
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
07 -
1/2 cup of rolled oats (opt for gluten-free, if needed).
08 -
1/4 cup honey, or swap with date syrup or coconut syrup.
09 -
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence.
10 -
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter as a substitute).
# Instructions:
01 -
Place peanut butter, honey, vanilla, protein powder, oats, flaxseed, cinnamon, and chia seeds in your food processor bowl. Blend everything together till it’s mixed well. Toss in the chocolate chips (also coconut if using), and blend briefly. Gently grab the dough using your hands or a medium cookie scoop, form them into 10 individual balls, and store in an airtight box.
02 -
Combine the wet ingredients in a bowl, stir until it’s all blended. Mix in the dry ingredients and work the dough with your hands if needed. The mixture should be sticky enough to shape into small balls.
03 -
Refrigerate them for up to a week or stash them in the freezer for 2 months max.
# Notes:
01 -
Skip the protein powder if you'd prefer—add extra oats to fix any wet dough.
02 -
Switch out nut butter for sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
03 -
Feel free to press it all into bars instead of rolling balls.
