They're really quick and easy to make and you can either bake them or eat them raw, both options are really yummy.
This recipe makes about 15 energy balls but obviously this depends on how big/small you want to make them.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of gluten free oats
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp agave nectar
- 1 tsp Organic Burst's Maca powder (for an extra energy kick)
- Handful of dried cranberries or any other dried fruit (optional)
Method
1. Mash the bananas into a bowl
2. Add all the other ingredients and mix well until it forms a doughy kind of mixture
3. Shape the mixture into bite-size balls
4. To bake place on a baking tray greased with a little coconut oil
5. To eat raw, refrigerate them for about an hour
These were a great snack during the ride as you can just pop them in your mouth. Also it's a common misconception that snacks that are high in refined sugar like haribo and many types of cereal bars are good for energy - they are at first but then because of all the sugar you are likely to have an energy 'spike' and then crash after a little while, which is not ideal.
Enjoy!
