Ingredients
Energy Balls
- 1 gluten-free rolled oats 1/4 cups
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder use 1/2 TBS for less flavor, or up to 1.5 TBS for stronger taste

homemade chai spice blend
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- In a large bowl combine oats, chai spice blend, espresso powder, chia seeds and cacao nibs/ mini chocolate chips..
- Add in nut butter, honey or brown rice syrup, and vanilla extract. Use sturdy spatula or spoon to combine.
- Once ingredients have come together, place bowl in freezer for about 10 minutes (or fridge for 20 minutes). The cold mixture will make forming the energy balls a lot easier.
