Why Choose Keto Almond Butter Energy Balls?
Traditional energy balls often contain oats, honey, or other high-carb ingredients that are not keto-friendly. This version swaps out the carbs for low-carb, high-fat ingredients like almond butter, coconut, and flaxseed. The result? A delicious snack that won’t spike your blood sugar while keeping you in ketosis.
Ingredients: Keto Almond Butter Energy Balls
To make these delicious keto almond butter energy balls, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup almond butter (unsweetened, creamy, or crunchy)
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted, if needed for consistency)
- ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Step-by-Step Preparation Guide:
-
Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, almond flour, shredded coconut, flaxseed, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Stir everything together until well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add the melted coconut oil one tablespoon at a time until you achieve a sticky but moldable consistency.
-
Add the Chocolate Chips (Optional):
- If you want a bit of extra sweetness, fold in sugar-free chocolate chips. This step is optional but adds a delightful flavor to your energy balls.
-
Shape into Balls:
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, take small portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form small balls.
- Each ball should be about 1 inch in diameter, but you can adjust the size to your preference.
-
Chill and Set:
- Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Once set, transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
Storage and Serving Tips
- Store these energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container for up to three months. Just let them thaw for a few minutes before enjoying.
- These energy balls make an excellent on-the-go snack, pre/post-workout fuel, or a guilt-free dessert.
