Almond butter energy balls

✍️ Edit source file

Ingredients

80 grams almond-butter
80 grams peanut-butter
90 grams maple-syrup (about 3 tbsp)
100 grams oats (about 1/2 cup)
50 grams flax-seed-ground (about 1/4 cup)
25 grams hemp-seed-hulled
40 grams chocolate-dark (mini vegan dark chocolate chips are great! or cut up a very dark bar)
15 mL soy-milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla-extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon-ground
1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend together until thick and creamy.
Stir in oats, ground flaxseed, and chocolate. The batter is typically difficult to stir at first, it should get a little easier as it hydrates. If after stirring a while it still feels too dry to clump together into balls, add a teaspoon of soy milk at a time until it starts to form.
Flatten the mixture into the bottom of the bowl. Use a knife to divide into 12 equal parts. Then scoop each part out and form it into a ball. The mixture might be a little sticky! But the stickiness is worth it, it means the liquids and oils will soften up the oats and make these tasty lil treats easier to digest.
Roll the balls in hemp hearts. Helps a bit with the stickiness! Cocoa might work instead, if you're into chocolate.
Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to a week or so. Or freeze and they'll last longer, just thaw at room temperature the day before you wanna eat them.
