Banana Bread Energy Balls with a Chocolate Shell & Flaky Salt
Dairy-Free • Gluten-Free • Refined Sugar-FreeThese Banana Bread Energy Balls are soft, sweet, and satisfying—like a bite-sized banana bread truffle! Dipped in rich dark chocolate and finished with flaky salt, they’re the perfect healthy treat to keep in your fridge or freezer.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ½ cup almond butter
- ½ banana ripe
- ½ cup chewy dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Blend the base – Add all the ingredients (except the chocolate shell ingredients and flaky salt) to a food processor and blend until a thick, cookie dough-like consistency forms.
- Note: If you’re using a large banana and the dough is too soft or wet (like brownie batter), add more almond flour or peanut butter powder—or use only half a banana next time.
- Form the balls – Scoop the dough into small balls, place them on a parchment-lined tray, and freeze for 1 hour.
- Make the chocolate shell – In a small pot, melt chocolate chips with a bit of coconut oil over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Coat the balls – Remove the frozen balls from the freezer, drizzle with melted chocolate, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Return to the freezer until the chocolate hardens.
