Oatmeal Raisin Energy Balls
Course: Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free, Dairy Free12
servingsIngredients
1 cup dry oats
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup natural almond butter
1/4 cup honey (or sub maple syrup if vegan)
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Directions
- In a medium bowl combine oats, raisins, chopped pecans and coconut.
- In a separate medium bowl combine almond butter, honey, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Stir to combine.
If your honey is firm or crystallized you can combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat and stir frequently until it is melted and combined. - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir well to combine. The mixture should be sticky.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Scoop by using a spoon or tablespoon (or whichever size of ball you prefer) and roll it in your hands to form a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture. Enjoy!
- Store the energy balls in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for much longer.
