Almond Joy Energy Balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup date syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup vegan semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

- In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, shredded coconut, almond butter, date syrup, chopped almonds, dark chocolate chips, and vanilla extract.
- Stir the mixture until well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a bit more almond butter or date syrup to bind the ingredients together.
- Once the mixture is well combined, place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and roll it into bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
