Fat-Free Cinnamon Energy Balls

These yummy little cinnamon energy balls are just 80 calories a pop so you can go ahead and enjoy a couple anytime for a healthy sweet treat. Try them straight from the freezer, YUM! They’re also awesome crumbled over smoothie bowls or banana nice cream.



INGREDIENTS
2 cups (200 g) oats
1.5 cups (283 g) packed, pitted soft dates
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1–2 tbsp cinnamon (see notes)
1/2 tsp sea salt (optional but recommended, do not use table salt)

INSTRUCTIONS
Add the oats to a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse a few times to break down a bit.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until it forms a thick dough.
Roll into balls and store in the fridge.

NOTES
If your dates are very dry, soak them in just boiled water for 10 minutes and drain before using.
I used 2 tbsp of cinnamon in this recipe but the flavour with 2 tbsp is quite intense. If you prefer, start with 1 tbsp, blend it up and taste the dough, then add more to taste.
