Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural almond butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Liquid
- 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (if needed for texture)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the natural almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir everything together until the mixture is fully combined and sticky.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk to achieve a pliable consistency that holds together.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch-sized balls, ensuring they are compact and even in size.
- Chill: Place the rolled energy balls on a lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld.
- Store: Transfer the energy balls to an airtight container and keep refrigerated. They will stay fresh for up to one week.
Notes
- Add shredded coconut or dark chocolate chips to the mixture for added flavor and texture, if desired.
- Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness; they keep well for up to 1 week.
