These no-bake energy balls combine chocolate almond butter, chia, and flax for a quick, wholesome snack with a satisfying chew and subtle crunch. Perfect for on-the-go or a healthy pick-me-up without the sugar crash.
If the mixture is too dry, add a splash more almond butter or honey. If too sticky, add a few extra oats. Chill twice to help the balls hold together. Wet hands slightly when rolling to prevent sticking. Use room temperature almond butter for easier mixing. Can swap almond butter for peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free version. Optional additions include cinnamon, espresso powder, hemp seeds, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut on the outside.
