Ingredients
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut
- ¼ cup wheat germ
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, peanut butter, honey, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, wheat germ, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Use a spatula or clean hands to combine everything thoroughly. The mixture should stick together easily.
- Shape the energy balls: Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Aim for a size similar to a ping pong ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
- Chill to set: Transfer the energy balls to an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps them firm up and hold their shape.
Notes
Tip: For a nut-free version, swap peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. These energy balls can also be customized with dried fruits, chia seeds, or chocolate chips for added flavor.
