Ingredients

Scale

Energy Balls Ingredients

  • 8 Medjool dates (pitted)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 Tbsp raw honey
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil (room temperature)
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Pulse Dates: Add the pitted Medjool dates to a food processor and pulse for about 1 minute until they break down into smaller pieces.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, raw honey, coconut oil, and salt to the food processor with the dates.
  3. Combine Mix: Process the mixture for 1-2 minutes until it turns crumbly and well incorporated. The mixture should hold together when formed into a ball but should not stick to your hands. Avoid over-processing to maintain texture.
  4. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into 8-10 bite-sized balls, shaping them evenly.
  5. Chill: Place the energy balls in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.
  6. Store Properly: Keep the energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days to maintain freshness and texture.
  7. Pack for Snacking: For outdoor adventures like hiking or camping, pack a few energy balls in an airtight container for a convenient, nutritious snack on the trails.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for natural sweetness and chewiness; make sure they are pitted to ease processing.
  • If mixture is too dry, add a small amount of water or extra coconut oil to help bind ingredients.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.
  • Store energy balls in the refrigerator to maintain firmness and freshness.
  • These balls are not gluten-free unless certified gluten-free oats are used.
  • Perfect for quick energy during outdoor activities, work, or as a healthy snack any time of day.
