Servings: 18 balls
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup well-stirred creamy natural almond butter*
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 10 soft Medjool dates**
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup walnuts
Instructions
- Combine the oat flour, walnuts, almond butter, dates, vanilla extract, water, and sea salt in a food processor. Blend until the mixture begins to hold together when pinched. If the mixture appears too dry or crumbly, add water incrementally, 1 teaspoon at a time, and continue to pulse.
- Transfer the mixture into a large bowl. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the mixture and roll it into balls.
- Store any leftover energy balls in the refrigerator. They also freeze well; simply leave them at room temperature until they soften when ready to eat.
Notes
- Choose creamy almond butter with a smooth texture for this recipe, avoiding the dry, stiff variety that often settles at the bottom of the jar.
- If your dates are hard, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them up.
