Ingredients

For the Energy Balls:

  • 1 cup quick oats Provides a hearty base and adds fiber.
  • 1 cup protein powder of choice Boosts the protein content; choose your favorite flavor!
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds or chia seeds Packed with omega-3 fatty acids and adds a nice crunch.
  • 1 cup creamy unsweetened almond butter Offers creaminess and healthy fats.
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup Natural sweetener that adds moisture and flavor.
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Enhances the overall taste with a hint of sweetness.
  • 1 pinch sea salt Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon Infuses the energy balls with warm spice.
  • 1 cup raisins Adds natural sweetness and chewy texture.
  • 2-4 tablespoons water Helps to bind the mixture together as needed.

Instructions

Instructions:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, protein powder, hemp or chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure that everything is evenly mixed.
  • Next, add the creamy almond butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a thick, sticky dough.
  • Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • If the mixture seems too dry and crumbly, add water one tablespoon at a time until you achieve a consistency that allows you to easily form balls.
  • Using your hands, scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  • Place the energy balls on a cookie sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up. Once chilled, they are ready to enjoy!
