Energy Balls



These originally came from an episode of "Get Fresh with Sara Snow," which I used to watch diligently back in the day.  I changed the recipe just a bit and have been making them for years.   They make a good school snack or breakfast.  With my early-morning work hours it's nice to have something to grab quick and munch on to tame the beast that is my tummy.




This makes about a dozen.

2-1/2 cups oats
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1 TBSP spirulina
1 TBSP cinnamon
1/2 cup nut or seed butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cup fresh-brewed (hot) coffee

Mix all until thoroughly combined, adding the coffee last.  Let set until no longer sticky.




Using a 1/4-cup scoop, place balls on parchment or other surface until set enough to transfer to an airtight container. 




Store in the refrigerator.
