Ingredients
Method
In a food processor, add the pitted dates and pulse until they form a sticky paste.
Add the almond butter, rolled oats, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the food processor. If you prefer a sweeter taste, include honey or maple syrup.
Pulse the mixture until well combined; it should be sticky and hold together when pressed. If it's too dry, add a tiny bit of water or more dates.
Stir in the chopped almonds with a spatula for added crunch.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon.
Place the formed energy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
Once all the mixture has been shaped, refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
