Coco Loco Energy Balls Recipe

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup

3/4 cup shredded coconut
3/4 cup gluten free rolled oats
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup cocoa puffed rice cereal (we use One Degree brand)
pinch of sea salt
1 t. melted coconut oil
1/8 cup chocolate chips (we use Enjoy Life brand dark chocolate morsels)
1 t. vanilla

DIRECTIONS

Combine almond butter and maple syrup in the food processor. Add the remaining ingredients until ingredients are mostly smooth. Use a cookie scoop to make balls. If your batch is too dry you can add a teaspoon of water or more coconut oil. You can customize these for some variety by rolling in shredded coconut or m&m's.

I adapted this recipe from several different recipes.
