Paleo Banana Coconut Energy Balls
These Paleo Banana Coconut Energy Balls are chewy, sweet, no-bake snacks made from wholesome ingredients with zero added sugar. Full-on vegan and super energizing.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana medium
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- ½ cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 2 tbsp chopped nuts or cacao nibs if you’re feeling wild
Instructions
- Add banana, almond flour, coconut, oil, vanilla, and salt to a food processor. Blend until it looks like a sticky dough.
- Toss in chia seeds and any extras like nuts or nibs. Mix gently with a spoon to avoid over-blending crunch.
- Roll mixture into small balls—about 1 tablespoon each. Channel your inner snack-sculptor.
- Place on parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Or freeze if you’re impatient (same).
- Store in an airtight container in fridge for up to 5 days. Or just eat them all. No judgment.
