Energy Balls without Peanut Butter
Energy balls are a popular and convenient snack option for those looking for a quick burst of energy on the go. These bite-sized snacks are typically made with a base of nuts or seeds, dried fruits, and sweeteners, and are often mixed with ingredients like oats, cocoa powder, and coconut flakes. However, for those with peanut allergies or simply looking for a different flavor profile, there are plenty of delicious energy ball recipes that do not include peanut butter.

Step 1
Burst oats into a coarse meal in the bowl of a food processor. Add pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and pecans; pulse 10 to 15 times, until chunks are desired size.
Step 2
Toss dates into the food processor and mix for 30 seconds. Pour rice syrup in slowly, with the processor running, until combined and starting to ball up.
Step 3
Transfer to a bowl and mix in chocolate chips, coconut, raisins, and sunflower seeds. Pull off dough in 25 gram sections and roll into balls. Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet; it's okay if they touch but make sure they are not stacked.
Step 4
Refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours before serving.
