Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, add in the oats and pulse a few times. This helps break down the oats slightly.

- Roll into balls using a cookie scoop or your hands. Aim for 13-15 bites or more if you prefer smaller sizes.

- Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy these energy balls as a quick and healthy snack!
Notes
- Mixture may appear crumbly at first but will come together when shaped.
- If the mixture is too dry, add more nut butter and a splash of water to adjust consistency.
