Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a food processor. Process until they form a sticky ball.
Step 2
Add the rolled oats, sunflower seed butter, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt to the food processor.
Step 3
Pulse until the mixture is well combined and the oats are finely chopped. It should be sticky enough to form balls. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more sunflower seed butter or a splash of water and pulse again.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in mini chocolate chips, if using.
Step 5
Use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to make approximately 12 energy balls.
Step 6
Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for at least an hour to set.
Step 7
Once set, store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
