Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup almond butter

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Optional: Shredded coconut for rolling

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped hazelnuts, and cocoa powder, and mix thoroughly.

    In another bowl, mix the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and well combined.

      Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.

        Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently.

          Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If desired, roll the balls in shredded coconut for added texture.

            Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

              Once set, transfer to an airtight container for storage in the refrigerator. These can last up to a week.
