Ginger Cookie Healthy Energy Balls
Description
Healthy Energy Balls that taste like ginger cookies! Easy, no-bake recipe with oatmeal, almond butter, and flax. Raw, vegan, high protein, and gluten free.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup almond butter
- ½ cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- ½ cup ground flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- ¼ cup maple syrup*
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Directions
- Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl: oats, almond butter, coconut, flaxseed, sesame seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Stir by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture is incorporated and sticky. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is firm and easy to shape.
- With damp hands, take 1 tablespoon of dough and shape it into a compact 1-inch ball (squeeze a little as needed) and place it on a plate. (Keep a bowl of water by your side, since the mixture is easier to handle with damp hands.) Repeat with the remaining batter. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or freeze for 3 months.
