Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup oats (rolled or quick oats)
- 1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined into a cohesive mixture.
- Add Fun Mix-ins: Add the sprinkles, chia seeds, mini chocolate chips (if using), and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir gently and evenly distribute all the mix-ins throughout.
- Shape into Balls: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture. Then, roll each portion into 1-inch balls with your hands, forming uniform energy bites.
- Prepare for Chilling: Line a tray or plate with parchment paper. Place the energy balls spaced evenly on the parchment to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Refrigerate the tray for at least 30 minutes to allow the energy balls to firm up and hold their shape.
- Store Properly: Transfer the firmed energy balls into an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any other nut butter of your choice.
- Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a vegan alternative.
- Mini chocolate chips are optional but add a nice touch of sweetness.
- These energy balls can be kept in the freezer for up to a month if you want to store them longer.
- Roll your hands with a bit of water or oil if the mixture is too sticky.
- Sprinkles add fun color but choose gluten-free sprinkles if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
