Scale
- 1/2 cup flax seed meal
- 1 cup gluten free old fashioned oats
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter, creamy or chunky (only ingredeints should be peanuts and maybe salt)
- 1/3 + 1 tablespoon honey
- Optional :1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dairy free for DF eaters)
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Use a firm spatula to mix everything together until well incorporated and a thick, sticky dough forms. If you are having trouble getting everything to come together sometimes it’s best to use clean hands to really get everything mixed together.
- Test consistency of dough: Take a small portion of the dough and squeeze it between your fingers, if it sticks together easily the dough is ready. If the dough is too crumbly stir in more peanut butter and honey.
- Chill the dough: Cover and place the dough in the freezer for 15 minutes or until the dough is no longer super sticky.
- Form the energy balls: Use a small cookie scoop, about 2 tablespoons, to portion out each energy ball. Roll them in your hands to form them into balls. Store them in an air tight container for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
