Equipment

Food processor

Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned oats or oat flour
1/3 cup almond butter or any kind of nut butter
1 tsp cinnammon
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 scoops Cinnamon crunch protein powder (about 90 grams), I used Quest can use another flavor of protein powder but it will take on a different taste
1/4 cup maple syrup, agave or honey
4 tbsp water

Instructions

Pour oats into food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes, or until oats are finely chopped. If you are using oat flour, you can forgo this step.
Add the nut butter, cinnamon, vanilla, protein powder and maple syrup to the food processor. Add the 4 tbsp water last.
Blend for 1 minute, or until a dough is formed. You may need to use a spatula to scrap the sides of the food processor sporatically to make sure the dough combines everything equally.
Use a spoon or tbsp to scoop out dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place formed balls on a cookie sheet or plate.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, then transfer into a tupperware container for easy storage in the fridge.

Notes

Store energy balls in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for 3 months.
