- 1 cup oats gluten free, if required
- ¼ cup milled flaxseed
- 2 tablespoon fresh ginger grated (adjust amount to preference)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ cup almond butter or macadamia nut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- sesame seeds optional, to coat
Pour the oats and milled flaxseed into a food processor and pulse blend until it becomes a grainy texture, but not a fine flour. Then add all the other ingredients, except the sesame seeds used to coat the energy balls. Blend until it forms a thick sticky ball that holds together.
Transfer the 'dough' to a bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form around 12 small energy balls. If you wish, sprinkle some sesame seeds on a plate and roll the balls to coat.
- If you aren't a fan of pumpkin seeds then simply swap out for another nut or seed of your preference.
- I haven't tried it myself, but if you cannot tolerate almond butter then macadamia nut butter should work well.
