Superhero Energy Balls

Servings 40 balls

Ingredients
  

Basic Recipe

  • 240grams/8½ounces medjool dates about 14 pieces
  • 160grams/5½ounces walnut halves about 1 heaping cup
  • cups cups gluten free rolled oats I like the large flake
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seed (flax meal)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 pinches coarse flaky sea salt I like Maldon
  • ¼ cup unpasteurized runny honey not raw
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut to roll the balls in

Optional ingredients

  • Small handful cacao nibs
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder

Instructions
 

  • In the food processor, mix together the pitted dates, walnuts, oats, chia, flax, cinnamon and salt until a fine crumb appears.  
  • Add the honey and tahini to the processor and mix again.  Empty to a large mixing bowl.  Add any of the optional ingredients if using.
  • Roll into walnut-sized balls.  Place onto a prep sheet, sprinkle the coconut all over and roll them so that the coconut coats the balls.
  • Refrigerate for about 1 hour to harden.  I freeze them at this point and take a few out each day as needed.
