Vegan Energy Balls
Prep Time:
10 minutes
Total Time:
10 minutes
7 ingredients & one bowl
Ingredients
- 100G oats
- 75G hemp protein powder
- 50G cacao/carob powder
- 75G soaked dates (+ between 4-8 tbsp of the water from the dates)
- 25G nut butter
- 25G coconut flour
- A few drops of plant milk
- 1 TBSP cocoa nibs (optional)
Instructions
- Place the first 3 ingredients in a bowl (oats, hemp protein & the cacao).
- Then, add the soaked dates*, with a few tbsp of the water.
- Add the nut butter and the coconut flour, and start mixing (use your hands)!
- Add a bit of plant milk, if needed, and in the end, add 1 tbsp with cocoa nibs.
- Mix well, and then start forming small balls.
- You will end up with about 14 energy balls.
Notes
- *I usually add the dates in a small pot and add water just to cover it. Then, I just bring it to boil and let it cool down for 10 minutes or so.
- You can use any nut butter or peanut butter.
- Keep them in the freezer.
- Take them out of the freezer 15-20 minutes before you want to enjoy them.
- You can keep a few in the fridge, to have always a ready snack!

My neighbor and running partner gave me one of those a few weeks ago. I ate some and then went and lost at tennis. The next time I didn’t try it and won. The third time I ate some more and lost again. I told her those weren’t energy balls, they were loser balls! But I strongly suspect my losing was due to poor play on my part and not her tasty snacks. Her recipe was slightly different, she used almond flour instead of coconut, and as you mentioned used peanut butter.
? Hey there! Sorry about losing your tennis game. I hope you will give another chance to the energy balls though ?
