Notes

I find that it's easiest to roll these into balls when my hands are damp with water before rolling.
The consistency of these energy balls will depend on the consistency of the peanut butter used. Feel free to adjust the amount of peanut butter or honey to get the desired consistency. This recipe is very flexible!
This recipe is easily doubled or tripled. They freeze well!
Chia seeds, coconut flakes, or hemp hearts can be used in place of flax meal.
