Notes
- Use flat or rolled oats rather than quick-cooking or steel-cut for proper texture.
- Unsweetened coconut flakes are preferred for texture and less sugar, though sweetened work as well.
- Ground flaxseed can be bought ready-made or made by grinding whole flax seeds fresh.
- This recipe yields approximately 20 balls; the size can be adjusted by rolling larger or smaller portions.
- Store finished energy balls covered in the refrigerator and consume within four days for best quality.
