Instructions
-
In a food processor, pulse the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut until finely ground. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, sunflower seed butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
-
Mix everything together until well combined and a sticky dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a little more sunflower seed butter or maple syrup.
-
Once the dough is ready, start shaping it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If desired, you can roll the balls in extra shredded coconut or cocoa powder for a fun finishing touch.
-
Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
-
Once the energy balls have set, they are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
