Energy Balls without Peanut Butter

No peanut butter in these energy balls. Dates and brown rice syrup make these a sticky, gooey satisfaction.

Step: 1

Burst oats into a coarse meal in the bowl of a food processor. Add pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and pecans; pulse 10 to 15 times, until chunks are desired size.

Step: 2

Toss dates into the food processor and mix for 30 seconds. Pour rice syrup in slowly, with the processor running, until combined and starting to ball up.

Step: 3

Transfer to a bowl and mix in chocolate chips, coconut, raisins, and sunflower seeds. Pull off dough in 25 gram sections and roll into balls. Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet; it’s okay if they touch but make sure they are not stacked.

Step: 4

Refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours before serving.
