These snickerdoodle energy balls are packed with wholesome ingredients, offering cozy cinnamon-vanilla flavors without the sugar crash. Perfect for meal prep, post-workout snacks, or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cashew butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • Optional: Mix-ins like chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon cinnamon mixed with a pinch of sugar for coating

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Mix the ingredients with a spatula until a smooth dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water or extra maple syrup.
  3. Take a small portion of the dough (about 1 tablespoon) and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  4. In a small plate, mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with a pinch of sugar (or a sugar substitute like coconut sugar).
  5. Roll each energy ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  6. Place the coated energy balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid making it too oily.’, ‘Taste the dough before rolling the balls and adjust sweetness if needed.’, ‘Use fresh cinnamon for the best flavor.’, ‘Customize the coating with nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist.’, ‘Pre-measure ingredients to save time and stay organized.’]
