You're gonna go nuts for these Energy Nut Balls! Some people need their coffee for a burst of energy, but we prefer chowing on little spheres of sweet goodness to get us back on our feet and conquering all the day's to-dos. These oat-y bites bring hints of citrus, tart cranberries, sweet dates, crunchy almonds and are so, so easy to whip up. And that way, you can chill them in the fridge until you need them most! Don't be tired! Munch on some Energy Nut Balls and get a little nutty!
Ingredients
- For the nut balls:
- 3/4 cup raw almonds, whole

- Optional toppings:
- honey, to taste
- powdered sugar, to taste
- sea salt flakes, to taste
Directions
Step 1 -In the bowl of a food processor, add the almonds, the cranberries, and the dates and process on high speed until they are broken down into smaller pieces, but not ground, about 10-15 seconds.
Step 2 -Add the oats, the tahini, the lemon juice, and the maple syrup to the almond mixture and process until a thick paste forms, about 40 seconds-1 minute.
Step 3 -Roll the oat mixture into 25 balls, using about 1 tablespoon of the mixture per ball.
Step 4 -Refrigerate the nut balls in an airtight container until ready to serve and for up to 2 weeks.
Step 5 -Serve the nut balls topped with the honey, the powdered sugar, and the salt.
