Packed with fibre, protein, and just enough chocolate to make healthy snacking feel like a treat.
Makes 14 balls.
What You Need:
- 1 ½ cups of gluten-free large flake oats, blended into flour
- ½ cup almond meal or almond flour
- 2 tablespoons of canola oil (or other neutral-tasting oil)
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (or other but butter)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
How to Make the Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Energy Ball Recipe:
- Put the oats into a blender or food processor and blend until it looks similar to the consistency of wheat flour (it is ok if it is not completely smooth).
- Pour “oat flour” into a large bowl. Add ½ cup of almond flour and mix until combined.
- Add canola oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Mix until combined.
- Feel “dough” with your hands. If it is too dry, add additional peanut butter. If it is wet, add additional flour. You should be able to shape the dough into balls.
- Create small balls and set them on a plate or in a container. Put in the fridge or freezer. Wait at least 30 minutes until consuming or they will be quite crumbly.
- Store in the fridge for 1 week or the freezer for up to 3 months.
