Ingredients

  • 2 cups chickpeas
  • 4 tbsp applesauce
  • 1/4 cup salted almonds pre-chopped in a food processor
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 tbsp himalayan salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 scoop vanilla plant based protein powder
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp cocoa butter (optional)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips I prefer Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips to keep it dairy free

Instructions

  • Start by adding almonds to your food processor and chop until they reach your desired texture.
  • Remove the almonds from the food processor and add chickpeas. Blend until they're combined but not completely pureed. You want to avoid creating a soup-like consistency.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed chickpeas, chopped almonds or almond butter, and the rest of your ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined.
  • Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about twenty to thirty minutes.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the mixture onto wax paper.
  • Layer the energy balls in a Tupperware container, placing wax paper in between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.  Keep the container in the refrigerator for a fresh and healthy snack anytime you need a boost of energy.
