Almond Joy Energy Balls

I love a good energy ball…or energy bite, protein ball, power ball, protein popper, whatever you want to call these bite-sized little treats! I make them ALL of the time, my chocolate peanut butter and pumpkin energy balls are two favorites. I love trying new flavors all of the time and my current favorite flavor is Almond Joy.

To be honest, I was never an Almond Joy fan when I was a kid. If I got an Almond Joy candy bar in my Halloween candy, I BEGGED my brother and sister to trade me for Reese’s or Twix. I just wasn’t a fan. Now, I LOVE chocolate, almond, and coconut together. The combo is amazing! I still don’t eat the candy bars, instead I make Almond Joy Energy Balls, they are MUCH better than the candy bar.

How to Make Almond Joy Energy Balls

I love making energy balls because they only take about 10 minutes to make, from start to finish! They are one of my favorite treats, especially after lunch time. I am always wanting something a little sweet and my energy balls cure my sweet tooth every single time.

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the oats, coconut, cocoa powder, flaxseed, chia seeds, salt, almond butter, honey, and vanilla.
  • You can use sweetened or unsweetened coconut.
  • If you want to boost the protein, you can add 1 tablespoon of your favorite chocolate protein powder. I love this brand.
  • Mix on low with the beater blade until well combined. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a bowl and spatula or wooden spoon to make the energy balls.
  • Stir in the almonds and chocolate chips. You can use regular or mini chocolate chips. I like Enjoy Life chocolate chips or Guittard.
  • Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 2 tablespoons per ball.

  1. A lot of recipes are using coconut oil and or coconut.As we have a family member who is allergic to coconut, what would be a good substitute – olive oil, avocado oil, other?

    Oh wow, just made these (minus the chocolate chips) because I had all the ingredients already and they are freaking bomb!!! Thanks!

    These are popular and I get asked to bring them as desserts. My only issue is that I’ve made them twice and both times they we were more crumbly and don’t hold together as well. I use maranatha raw almond butter and meticulously measure everything. Any tips?

    1. I am so glad you like them. It might be the brand of nut butter. Try using a little less oats and they should be fine!
