Nut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Balls
These little energy balls are super satisfying!
Try making them using different nut-butters such as cashew butter, almond butter, or peanut butter.
No-bake, and just 10 minutes of hands-on time to make! This is a fun recipe to make with the kids.
Perfect for a quick snack or after workout boost!
EXCELLENT nutrient-packed treat for children and growing teenagers (so long as they don’t have any nut allergies!)
Cashew butter gives these energy balls such a creamy decadent flavor and texture. Almost like a bakery-style chocolate chip cookie! I sprinkled this batch with fancy sea salt immediately before eating…and OMG…they tasted like a sea-salted, richly divine, chocolate chip cookie from the bakery!
Chocolate chip energy balls won’t last long at your house so heads up – double your batch!
Nut butter naturally contains healthy fat, protein, and antioxidants. So besides being an EXCELLENT healthy snack choice, this combination actually helps to manage cravings and feeling satisfied.
âž¡ï¸ Rachel’s Tips:
2 protein energy bites or balls each day as a snack is a perfect serving. I love having these on hand as my before or after workout fuel.
When shopping for ingredients:
Look for higher percentage cacao for the chocolate chips, and your nut butter should really be nothing but nuts, and maybe sea salt. Steer clear of added oils and/or added sugar if possible.
Makes 12 balls, 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup oat flour (ground oats)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup nut butter of choice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or raw honey
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup dairy-free, mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
Add almond flour, flaxseed meal, coconut flour, chia seeds, cinnamon and sea salt into your food processor.
Pulse a few times until well combined.
Add in the nut butter, maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract.
Process until you have a sticky mixture that holds together well.
Transfer to a bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop to get even balls, scoop the mixture into your palms and roll it to form a round ball.
Repeat with the remaining mixture. You should have right around 12 energy balls.
Store in a container fitted with a lid and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Enjoy!
