Chocolate Chip Almond Butter Oat Balls
A simple, vegan/gluten-free snack bite filled with oats, flax, and almond butter!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy salted almond butter*
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 cup maple syrup can sub maple/agave
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate**
Instructions
- 1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and mix with a wooden spoon until fully combined.
- 2. Use a small ice cream scoop or spoon to portion out batter into 18-20 balls, then roll between palms to make each one round. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
*I buy almond butter that's made of only roasted almonds and salt. If your almond butter is unsalted, add an extra pinch of salt, as the recipe needs it. If your almond butter is already sweetened, you might want to adjust the amount of maple syrup to get your desired level of sweetness here.
