Coconut Oatmeal Energy Balls<\/h2>\n

Need something easy, healthy, and delicious to whip up and enjoy? If you’re craving a sweet treat that won’t wreck your healthy eating habits then check out these Coconut Oatmeal Energy Balls.<\/p>\n

If you’re anything like me you might not be big into baking. I love to cook, but baking is a whole other story. One factor is that I follow a gluten-free and dairy-free diet since they both cause a slew of issues for me. That and the fact that most recipes have enough sugar in them to feed an entire school.<\/p>\n

Lately, I’ve been watching Nailed It.<\/a>\u00a0Have you ever seen it? It’s hilarious! Anyway, it has me inspired to bake…<\/p>\n

With all of that being said I decided to craft up these simple and guilt-free Coconut Oatmeal Energy Balls.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

High Energy and Low Sugar<\/h2>\n

They take about 5 minutes of prep time and require just a few ingredients. You can enjoy them for breakfast or as a snack.<\/p>\n

They are all-natural, plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free, and no sugar added. Oh yay!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can add things to this mixture like shredded almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, chocolate chips, raisins, or whatever you feel like! I invite you to play around with different spices too. I used sunflower butter, however, feel free to use different types of nut butter. Get creative in the kitchen by mixing and matching ideas. Whatever tickles your fancy. You do you!!<\/p>\n

Serve with some fun tea or your favorite plant-based milk and Enjoy!<\/strong><\/p>\n
