About This Recipe

Healthy Energy Balls that taste like ginger cookies! Easy, no-bake recipe with oatmeal, almond butter, and flax. Raw, vegan, high protein, and gluten free.

Ingredients

• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 3/4 cup almond butter
• 1/2 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup maple syrup*
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl: oats, almond butter, coconut, flaxseed, sesame seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Stir by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture is incorporated and sticky. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is firm and easy to shape.
2. With damp hands, take 1 tablespoon of dough and shape it into a compact 1-inch ball (squeeze a little as needed) and place it on a plate. (Keep a bowl of water by your side, since the mixture is easier to handle with damp hands.) Repeat with the remaining batter. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or freeze for 3 months.
