Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir together until well combined. You can either stir by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula OR use a handmixer and beat on LOW speed until combined. Increasing speed as needed. The mixture is thick so it will take a few minutes to fully mix it all together.
  • Roll into balls. I use a small cookie scoop to get even sized energy balls, which holds about 1 tablespoon of the energy ball dough. TIP: If you are having difficulty getting the mixture to roll into a ball, try pressing the energy ball dough between your fingers (to loosen it up/warm it up) and then roll into a ball. TIP: If the energy ball dough is too sticky, which it will be naturally as there is honey in it, try refrigerating for about 20 minutes to see if that helps.
  • Eat right away or you can refrigerate for a couple of hours if you want to serve them cold. I think they’re best tasting when they are cold so I always make them before I need them (like for after school) so they have time to refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge, in a covered container, for several days.
