What Makes This Recipe Great

These energy balls are about to change your snack game!  I love them so much.  I based the flavors off of the sedimentary cookies we all love so much and they nail it on the head! I love making a big batch of these on a Sunday and have them in the fridge for the week when we need a snack on the go. Packed with protein from the peanut butter, dates and of course oats. As these protein balls have protein and caffeine it the perfect bite size bump to your afternoon.

These are great to store in the fridge but can also be fabulous in the freezer.  I also recommend making a double batch of these and storing half in the freezer and half in the fridge. The best.  So whip up and batch and tell me how much you love them!

Ingredient List

• Dates– Make sure you remove the pits before blending, this can be done by simply peeling the date open and removing the pit.
• Natural peanut butter– feel free to use any other natural butter: almond, mixed nut, sunflower.
• Instant coffee– this is an ingredient that can be simply omitted.
• Rolled Oats– use any kind of oats you have, they will be blitzed so any kind works.
• Almond flour– the recipe was created using almond flour so it you use a different flour it may turn out a bit different but still amazing.
• Mini chocolate chips– the minis work best because these balls are relatively small so it gives you the perfect amount of chocolate.
