Lemon and molasses energy balls

Other 15 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook


  1. Zest the lemon and set the juice aside. In a food processor, combine the dates, molasses, lemon zest, lemon juice, almond flour, 50g oats, chia seeds and ground flaxseeds. Pulse until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together, with some texture remaining.
  2. Using a ½ tablespoon measuring scoop, portion the mixture and roll each ball between your palms to form small balls.
  3. Mix the coconut and turmeric in a bowl and place the rolled oats in another bowl. Divide the energy balls and roll one batch in the coconut-turmeric mix and the other in the oats.
  4. Place the energy balls on a plate or baking tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, the energy balls are ready to eat. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze them for up to one month.
