They’re chewy, a little nutty, and packed with good stuff like dates, oats, and almond butter. The best part? You toss everything into a food processor and bam! you’ve got energy balls ready in minutes.

👩‍🍳 Method (Detailed Steps)

Break the Rice Cakes

Start by breaking up the 8 rice cakes into smaller pieces using your hands. Don’t worry about making them too small the food processor will take care of the rest! Just make sure they’re crushed enough to fit easily into the processor without jamming the blade.

Add the Ingredients

Next, add all the remaining ingredients to the food processor along with the rice cakes. This includes 200g of almond butter (or your favorite nut butter), 10 soft Medjool dates with the pits removed, 25g of shredded coconut, and 30g of oats. Make sure the dates are soft and sticky if they feel too dry, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes before using. This helps everything blend together nicely.

Blend the Mixture

Now, it’s time to let the food processor do its magic! Pulse or blend the ingredients together until you get a thick, sticky dough. It should look a bit like cookie dough and feel soft and squishy when you press it. You don’t want it to be too wet or too dry just sticky enough to roll into balls. If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, you can add an extra date or a spoonful of almond butter. If it’s too wet, a tiny bit more oats will help fix it.

Roll into Balls

Once your dough is ready, scoop out small portions about the size of a tablespoon and roll them between your hands to form little balls. You can use a small cookie scoop or just eyeball it. If the dough sticks to your hands too much, lightly wet your palms with water or rub a bit of coconut oil on them.

Chill and Set

After shaping all your energy balls, place them on a plate or in a container lined with parchment paper. Then pop them into the fridge for a few hours. This step helps them firm up so they’re easier to eat and store. Once they’ve chilled, they’ll have the perfect chewy texture and will hold their shape nicely.

And that’s it! You now have 24 delicious almond butter energy balls ready to enjoy any time you need a healthy, tasty snack. Keep them stored in the fridge, and they’ll stay fresh for several days if they last that long!
