Ingredients

Instructions

Add almonds to a food processor or high speed blender. Pulse until coarse. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until it forms a sort of “dough,” that is crumbly but sticky enough to be formed into a ball, scraping down the sides and under the blades as necessary.
Remove from blender and shape into balls. If the mixture is sticky and difficult to work with you can wet your hands before working with it. *I like to use a medium-size cookie scoop to scoop the dough and then form it into a ball with my hands.
Place energy balls onto baking sheet or other container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

A simple trick to avoid getting your hands messy is to use a small ice cream or cookie scoop to shape the energy balls. I used a medium cookie scoop to make a batch of 18.
If your dough is sticky and difficult to shape, wet your hands before shaping.
Make sure to put them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent them from spoiling. They can last up to 2 weeks in the fridge if stored properly!
To prevent energy balls from sticking together when placed in the freezer, place them on a baking sheet, then freeze for an hour on the baking sheet. This will stop them from sticking together when you move them to a freezer-safe container to store.
