These Blueberry Cobbler Energy Balls Recipe
These blueberry energy balls feature dried blueberries, oats and pecans that combine to give you a bite-sized taste of blueberry cobbler. You can use almond butter for a nuttier taste or sunflower butter for something mellower to bind them together. These portable snacks are ready in just 30 minutes and can be stored in your fridge or freezer for a quick grab-and-go snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened dried blueberries divided
- ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup smooth natural almond butter or sunflower seed butter
- ½ cup chopped dried figs
- ½ cup chopped pecans toasted
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Finely chop 2 tablespoons blueberries; set aside. Combine the remaining 1 cup blueberries, oats, almond butter (or sun butter), figs, pecans, chia seeds, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, 10 to 20 pulses; then process until the mixture is crumbly but can be pressed to form a cohesive ball, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Using wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking, squeeze and roll the mixture into 32 balls (about 1 tablespoon each); place in a single layer on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.
- Place white chocolate chips in a small bowl; microwave on High in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute, 30 seconds total. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the energy balls; sprinkle with the reserved chopped blueberries.
