Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150g) Rolled oats
- 1 cup (120g) Dried mulberries
- 2 tbsp (20g) Chia seeds
- ½ tsp (1g) Ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp (1.5g) Sea salt
- ½ cup (125g) Almond butter
- 2 tbsp (30ml) Maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5ml) Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Warm water
Instructions:
- Place the rolled oats, dried mulberries, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt into the food processor. Pulse 5-8 times until the mulberries are broken down into small pieces but the oats still retain some visible structure.
- Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Process on medium speed for 30-60 seconds until the mixture clumps together into a large, sticky ball that pulls away from the sides of the processor. If the mixture remains crumbly, add warm water one teaspoon at a time.
- Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms to create a smooth, spherical ball. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the energy balls for 15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to hydrate and the fats to firm up for the best texture.
