Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup (or other keto-friendly liquid sweetener like erythritol syrup)
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (or other nut butter like peanut butter or sunflower seed butter)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch salt
Optional Mix-ins
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Plate or Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients and have a large mixing bowl ready. Ensure your hands are clean, as you'll be using them to mix and roll the balls.
  2. In the large mixing bowl, add the unsweetened almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.

  3. To the bowl with the dry ingredients, add the sugar-free maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract.

  4. Using a sturdy spoon or a spatula, begin to mix all the ingredients together. It's best to switch to using your hands once the mixture starts to come together. Knead and mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and you have a cohesive dough-like consistency. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape when rolled. If it seems too dry, add another teaspoon of almond butter or sugar-free syrup. If it seems too sticky, add a tablespoon more almond flour.
  5. If you're using sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts, gently fold them into the mixture at this stage. Mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  6. Take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form compact balls. Aim for a uniform size so they all bake/set evenly, or simply enjoy the rustic charm of varied sizes.
  7. Place the rolled Keto Low Carb Energy Oatmeal Balls on a plate or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape more securely.
