Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Alfalfa Honey Energy Balls
  1. In a food processor, combine 1 cup of natural peanut butter, ½ cup of alfalfa honey, 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract, 1½ cups of old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup of unsweetened coconut flakes, and ¼ cup of ground golden flax seeds. Pulse these ingredients together for about 30 seconds until the mixture is cohesive and slightly sticky.
  2. Add ½ cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips into the mixture from step one. Pulse briefly for about 10-15 seconds, just until combined, ensuring the chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
  3. Using clean hands, scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls, ensuring they are compact. Optionally, roll each ball in reserved chocolate chips for a light coating.
  4. Place the formed energy balls into an airtight container and refrigerate them for at least 5–10 minutes.
  5. Once chilled, your Alfalfa Honey Energy Balls are ready to enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
