    Chocolate-Coconut Energy Balls

    I originally posted Chocolate-Coconut Energy Balls in 2014. I'm reposting now as I search my archives for some of my fun, forgotten recipes. 

    Chocolate-Coconut Energy Balls

    I've never quite been able to master my own granola bar recipe but put a few forgiving ingredients in a bowl and mash together into balls and voila! A homemade, portable snack or, in my case, breakfast.

    Most mornings, I wake up at 5:25 a.m., throw clothes on, and head to the gym for a 6 a.m. class. I barely give myself enough time to brush my teeth, let alone make breakfast, so I've been experimenting with these and a few other grab-and-go ideas.

    I was inspired to come up with a new flavor after buying my first-ever bag of coconut.

    It's yet another ingredient (like mushrooms and avocado) I was not fond of as a child, but now absolutely love!

    Here's the step by to make Chocolate-Coconut Energy Balls, the recipe is below for easy printing.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
    • 6 tablespoon creamy almond butter
    • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
    • 6 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
    • ½ ounce cocoa nibs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • ¼ cup chocolate syrup

    Instructions

    Put all the ingredients in a bowl.

    Combine well.

    Form into 20 balls.

    I store mine in an air-tight container and grab 2-3 before heading out the door in the morning.

    Note: I originally made these with my homemade chocolate syrup, which I will need to repost as well!
