Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time5 minutes
Servings: 8 balls

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter of choice natural, with no added sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice I recommend using something granulated

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes, so the coconut flour and chia seeds can absorb the moisture from the nut butter. ***see note below about the nut butter
  • Form into balls and place in the fridge until ready to consume.

Notes

A note on the nut butter you choose: I recommend that you use something natural without a bunch of sugar-added. Natural nut butters often separate, leaving the oil at the top. You do not want the oil in this recipe, otherwise the balls will be much too liquidy. Reach down deep in that jar and pull out the harder stuff, that is what you want here.
