Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated into a sticky, cohesive dough.
  2. Shape the Energy Balls: With clean hands, take portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls roughly 1 inch in diameter. Arrange the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Bake and Cool: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the energy balls for 10-12 minutes or until they turn lightly golden brown. Once baked, let them cool completely on the baking sheet; this helps them firm up and retain their shape.
  4. Enjoy: After cooling, the Snickerdoodle Energy Balls are ready to be enjoyed as a nutritious snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use natural almond butter without added sugar or salt for a healthier option.
  • If you prefer, substitute honey with maple syrup to make the recipe vegan-friendly, though baking time may vary slightly.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors if desired.
  • Ensure the energy balls are completely cooled before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
  • These energy balls can also be refrigerated to extend shelf life up to two weeks.
