- ¾ cup natural peanut butter
- ½ cup quinoa
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup oats
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 3 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add the quinoa and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
In a large bowl add all the ingredients. With a wooden spoon mix well to combine everything. You will end up with a sticky dough that holds together.
With your hand, form small balls about 1 inch of diameter.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Substitutes
- ¾ natural peanut butter instead of almond butter
- ¼ cup of honey instead of maple syrup
- 3 tablespoon of hemp seeds instead of flax seeds
Tips
- To make easier to roll the balls, you can place the bowl with the mixture in fridge for 30 minutes.
- You can keep the energy ball in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
