Ingredients

- 1 cup rolled oats

- 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter)

- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

- 1/4 cup dried coconut flakes

- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)

- 2 tablespoons moringa powder

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

- Pinch of salt

Preparation

1. Mix Wet Ingredients:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the nut butter and honey or maple syrup. Mix well until smooth and well combined.

2. Add the vanilla extract and mix again.


2. Add Dry Ingredients:

1. Add the rolled oats, dried coconut flakes, chopped nuts, moringa powder, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt to the bowl.

2. Mix everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture starts to come together.


3. Form the Energy Balls:

1. Using clean hands, take a spoonful of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a compact ball. If the mixture is too sticky, you can lightly wet your hands with water.

2. Place the formed energy ball on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.


4. Repeat and Chill:

1. Continue rolling the mixture into energy balls until you've used all the mixture.

2. Once all the balls are formed, place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Chilling helps the balls set and hold their shape.


5. Store and Enjoy:

1. After chilling, the energy balls are ready to eat. Transfer them to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

2. Grab an energy ball whenever you need a quick and nutritious snack!


Tips:

- You can customize these energy balls by adding other ingredients such as dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, dates) or chocolate chips.

- If the mixture is too dry to form into balls, you can add a little more nut butter or honey/maple syrup to achieve the desired consistency.

- Moringa powder has a distinct flavor, so you might want to start with a smaller amount and adjust to your taste.

- Feel free to roll the energy balls in additional coconut flakes, crushed nuts, or moringa powder for extra texture and flavor.


These Moringa Energy Balls are a fantastic on-the-go snack that provides a boost of energy and essential nutrients. Enjoy the convenience and health benefits of these delicious treats!
