Description
Delicious and nutritious energy balls made with oats, nut butter, and M&M candies for a perfect snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Rice Krispies Cereal
- 2/3 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup M&M Candies (or small chocolate chips)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, coconut, Rice Krispies, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, protein powder, honey, nut butter, salt, and M&Ms. Mix with a rubber spatula until well-combined and resembles dry cookie dough.
- When you scoop and lightly pack it together, it should stay in a ball and not break. If it’s a little too dry, add a little more honey.
- Using a 1½ tablespoon scoop, scoop your dough into evenly sized balls. Use your hands to finish rolling into a nice ball shape, using a little coconut oil on your hands if it gets too sticky.
- To store the energy balls, place them in a large airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Use parchment paper or wax paper between the layers of the energy balls to keep them from sticking to each other.
Notes
- Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
- Feel free to substitute different nut butters or add-ins like dried fruit or seeds.
