Salted Caramel Energy Balls are a delicious and nutritious no-bake snack made from wholesome oats, naturally sweet dates, creamy nut butter, rich caramel, and a hint of sea salt.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce or caramel-flavored syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Ensure the dates are pitted and soft; if needed, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften then drain well.
  2. Blend the mixture: In a food processor or blender, combine the rolled oats, pitted dates, nut butter, caramel sauce, and sea salt. Process until the mixture is sticky and well combined into a uniform dough-like consistency.
  3. Form the balls: Using your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch diameter balls. Place each formed ball on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to set and firm up.
  5. Serve and store: Optionally sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, ensure the caramel sauce is dairy-free or use a caramel-flavored syrup.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or fewer dates or caramel depending on your preference.
  • These energy balls can be customized by adding nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips.
  • If the mixture is too dry to roll, add a small amount of water or additional nut butter to help it bind.
  • To freeze, place the balls in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
