Makes about 12-15 balls
These little guys are a holiday version of my favorite energy balls. They taste like a rich gingerbread cookie and are packed with protein and anti-inflammatory properties without any processed sugars or questionable ingredients. SO healthy, So easy and So yummy! Perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a treat after dinner. Kids love them as much as adults! Gluten-free and dairy-free.
Ingredients:
· 1 cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats, loosely ground in a blender (optional
· 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (I used toasted but regular is fine)
· ¼ cup almond butter
· 1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
· ½ cup freshly ground flaxseed
· 1/4 cup honey
· 1/4 cup maple syrup
· ¼ cup sesame seeds
· 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
· 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
· ½ tsp. ground ginger
· ¼ tsp. ground cloves
· ½ cup dark mini chocolate chips
Preparation:
· Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and let the mixture set in the refrigerator for at least 30 min.
· Roll mixture into about 1-inch sized balls and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
· Enjoy!!
