  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 24 1x

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats- use gluten free if necessary
  • 1/2 cup ground flax
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop plant based vanilla protein powder (my favorite is Arbonne)
  • 24 tablespoons of almond milk
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (I am loving these allergen free chocolate chips from Enjoy Life)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
  • sea salt for sprinkling, optional

Instructions

  1. Place oats, flax, hemp seeds, chia seeds, honey, peanut butter, vanilla, and protein powder in the base of a food processor. Pulse just until dough comes together. Add almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you get desired consistency. I like mine on the drier side so usually only add 2 tablespoons though I’ve added up to 4 for a more “dough” like energy ball.
  2. Roll energy balls into 2-inch size balls. Place on a roll of parchment while you finish.
  3. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl. Microwave in 20 second increments until chocolate is fully melted. Dip top half of each energy ball into the chocolate and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt if desired.
  4. Let chocolate cool completely and harden before transferring the energy balls to an air tight container. I store mine in the fridge and they keep for about 5-7 days.
