So good you might just eat the whole batch.
It’s important to have healthy snacks at hand when the 3pm slump hits, especially when you’re tempted to grab a chocolate bar or packet of crisps.
Which is why we are loving this simple and delicious energy ball recipe from Minimalist Baker. Not only will these guilt-free little balls satisfy your sweet tooth, you can also make them in just 15 minutes using ingredients from your local Lidl.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (~220 g) dates (figs are also great).
- 3 Tbsp all peanut or almond butter
- 1/4 dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds (or sub flax or hemp seeds)
- 2/3 cup gluten free rolled oats
Method:
- Pulse dates in a food processor or blender until they’re in small pieces or it forms a ball (see photo).
- Add oats, chocolate, chia seeds and peanut butter and pulse or mix until combined. You want there to be consistently small pieces but not overly processed.
- Carefully roll into 1-inch balls (29-30 grams per ball), using the warmth of your hands to mold them together. Should yield 14-15 balls.
- To set, pop in fridge or freezer for 15 minutes. Otherwise, eat as is! Will keep fresh in an air-tight bag or container for up to a week. Freeze for longer term storage.
