Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (can use gluten-free oats)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chopped freeze dried apples (or dried apples)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, allspice, sea salt, almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and chopped dried apples. This ensures all dry and wet ingredients are in one place for easy mixing.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Attach the paddle attachment to your stand mixer and mix the ingredients until they come together into a moist, cohesive mixture. This usually takes a few minutes and ensures even distribution of flavors and textures.
  3. Form Energy Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the mixture into bite-sized balls. This helps create uniform snacks that are easy to grab and eat.
  4. Chill: Place the formed energy balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving. This chilling step helps the balls hold their shape and enhances their texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any other nut/seed butter of your choice.
  • Freeze dried apples are preferable for their crunch and low moisture but dried apples work as well; if using dried apples, consider soaking them briefly in warm water to soften.
  • Store energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • These energy balls make a great pre- or post-workout snack packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
