Ingredients
Dry Ingredients

- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1–2 tbsp water (as needed)
Instructions
- Blend Dates: Place the pitted dates into a food processor and blend until a smooth, sticky paste forms, which will help bind the energy balls together.

- Combine Mixture: Pulse the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough-like consistency.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water gradually and pulse until the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Form Balls: Scoop the mixture and roll it into small, bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Chill: Place the energy balls in the refrigerator and chill for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Add shredded coconut flakes to the mixture for extra texture and flavor.
- Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Adjust sweetness by using more or less honey or maple syrup according to taste.
