5-Ingredient Energy Balls

01Method

1. 1

   Add the oats, nut butter, almond flour or ground flax, maple syrup or honey, mix-ins, and salt to a medium bowl. Stir everything together with a spatula or wooden spoon until fully incorporated, switching to clean hands to knead if the mixture becomes too stiff.

2. 2

   Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each one between your palms into a smooth, compact ball roughly the size of a ping pong ball. Place them in a lidded storage container or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. 3

   Refrigerate for 1 hour until firm, then transfer to an airtight container. They keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. To freeze, arrange on a baking sheet until solid, then move to a zip-top bag for up to 2 months; serve from frozen or thaw in the refrigerator.
