Ingredients
- Makes 20 balls
- 1 cup almonds, whole or sliced
- 1/2 cup dried fruit such as raisins, cherries, blueberries, or cranberries
- 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew, etc.)
- 1/2 cup toasted granola
- 2 tablespoons water
Preparation
Step 1
The best thing about the Energy Balls is that they are raw (no cooking!) and you can make them in a flash. Also, you can store them in the fridge for a week and serve them whenever a child demands a cookie.
These make a great breakfast for the adult who is in a rush and regularly eats packaged breakfast bars.
Makes 20 balls
Place almonds in food processor and pulse until chopped. Add dried fruit, nut butter, and granola, and pulse until well mixed. Try to form a 1 inch ball in your hands. If the dough does not stick together add 2 tablespoons of water and pulse again until dough is more sticky.
Make 20 balls and eat immediately or refrigerate for later.
I love energy balls. I make them all the time; open the cupboard and bring out any nut, seed, and dried fruit there is there, and blend them up. Also can add a drizzle of molasses for liquid which is loaded with calcium and potassium. Also can add cocoa, or shredded coconut, or chia seed, sesame seeds; go for it!
