Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup dates (pitted)
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1–2 tbsp water (as needed)
Instructions
- Blend Dates: Place the pitted dates into a food processor and blend until they form a smooth paste, which will act as a natural sweetener and binder.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), turmeric powder, ginger powder, and chia seeds to the food processor with the dates.
- Combine Mixture: Pulse the mixture in the food processor until all ingredients come together and form a sticky, combined dough-like consistency.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly to roll, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water incrementally until it’s moist enough to shape.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill: Place the formed energy balls in the refrigerator and chill for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle or roll the balls in unsweetened coconut flakes before chilling.
- Store these energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
