Ingredients and Variations
This basic energy ball recipe allows for mix-and-match extras so you can create the perfect combo, make one, or a variety for everyone’s preferences!
Peanut Butter: Peanut butter can be creamy or crunchy! Almond or cashew butter are also delicious, be sure to adjust for the extra oils by adding more oats so the energy balls keep together. For those with nut allergies, sunflower or chickpea butter are great alternatives! For a chocolate peanut butter energy ball, swirl in a couple of teaspoons of cocoa powder!
Pumpkin: Choose pumpkin puree from a can and not “canned pumpkin” which may have additional seasonings in it. Use up leftover pumpkin puree to make overnight oats, corn muffins with creamy honey butter, or some amazing morning treats like pumpkin cranberry bread.
Oatmeal: Quick oats are smaller and thinner and hold up better than rolled or old-fashioned oats. If quick oats aren’t available, use what you have and pulse them a few times in a food processor to make them finer. You can even find gluten-free rolled oats!
Coconut: Shredded coconut can be sweetened or unsweetened and should be a finer shred so everything sticks together. For crunchier coconut, saute the flakes in a dry pan until they become golden brown.
Honey: Other alternatives for honey are agave or maple syrup. There are also many new sugar-free liquid sweeteners that will work.
Extras: Dates, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, mini chocolate chips, or a spoonful of your favorite protein powder will add extra flavor and texture.
