Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup Almond Butter
1/3 cup Honey
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped almonds (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
1: Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl: oats, power mix-ins, nut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, salt, mix-ins, and any other spices you'd like to add. Stir to combine. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more oats. If it's too dry, add a bit more nut butter. It should resemble a somewhat sticky dough that holds together when lightly squeezed. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set (this will make the balls easier to roll later on).

2: Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and portion the dough into balls of desired size. (I use a cookie scoop to make mine approximately 1 inch in diameter). Enjoy!

Store leftover energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I loved these as a quick snack while I was breastfeeding Everett - it helped keep calories up and was a nice, easy make-ahead snack. Ryan + Grandma Teresa also loved them, they would never last in the house for more than a few days. This is why they're nicknamed "crack balls" - they're really addictive!
