Apricot Energy Balls

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup almond butter

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the finely chopped dried apricots, honey (or maple syrup), and almond butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
3. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is combined and forms a sticky dough.
4. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more almond butter or honey. If too wet, add a touch more oats or almond flour.
5. Using your hands, grab a small amount of the mixture and roll it into a ball about 1 inch in diameter.
6. If desired, roll the energy balls in additional shredded coconut or chopped nuts to coat them.
7. Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
