Notes
- Nutrition information is calculated for one energy ball.
- If the mixture is too dry, just add in a bit of water (start with one tablespoon and go up to 3).
- Store leftover energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Vegan energy balls are perfect to make in larger quantities during meal prep as they can be frozen and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just take them out a few minutes beforehand to defrost, and then enjoy.
- Do you have a nut allergy? Don’t despair! Try replacing the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Substitute dried figs or raisins for medjool dates or use both.
- You can add steel cut oats or nuts for an extra crunch.
- Replace peanut butter with your favorite nut butter or sunflower seed butter.
- Feel free to substitute almond flour for coconut flour.
