Servings: 21 servings
Calories: 99kcal
Ingredients
- 200 g Medjool dates pitted
- 120 g Oats (use certified gluten free oats to ensure this recipe is gluten free)
- 120 g Mixed nuts
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 20 g Flax seeds
- 30 g Dark chocolate vegan
Instructions
- Put 200 g Medjool dates in a bowl of boiled water. Let them soak for 10 minutes.
- Drain the dates and put into a food processor with 120 g Oats, 120 g Mixed nuts, 1 tablespoon Maple syrup, 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon Ground ginger, 1 pinch Sea salt and 20 g Flax seeds.
- Process until everything is combined. This will result in a dough-like texture.
- Roll the mixture into 21 balls - each one should weigh about 25g/~1oz.
- Melt 30 g Dark chocolate and drizzle over the balls. Refrigerate until the chocolate has set.
Notes
- If your energy balls are a little dry, then add a little water at a time until they are easier to roll into balls.
- If the mixture is too wet, then blend some more oats into it.
- These are also really good crumbled over yogurt and fruit bowls if you are looking for another way to use them instead of just as a snack.
- If you want to give it more of a gingerbread cookie dough flavour, then mix some dark chocolate chips into them.
