Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ½ cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
  • ½ cup ground flaxseed meal
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Step 1: Gather your ingredients. Start by assembling all of your ingredients on the counter. This makes the preparation process smooth and efficient.
  • Step 2: Mix dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, ground flaxseed meal, sesame seeds, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and sea salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Step 3: Add wet ingredients. Next, add the almond butter and maple syrup to the dry mixture. Use a spatula or your hands to thoroughly mix everything together until it forms a sticky dough.
  • Step 4: Shape the energy balls. Once combined, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture has been formed into balls.
  • Step 5: Chill and store. Place the formed energy balls in a single layer in an airtight container and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and hold their shape better. Once chilled, they can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for longer storage.
