These little energy bites are my go to snack when I need something quick, sweet, and healthy. They are loaded with omega fatty acids from the flax seeds, which is exactly why I call them Glowballs. You will love how simple they are to pull together in just a few minutes.

They have a lovely earthy flavor from the flax, combined with the natural sweetness of banana and a hint of cocoa. My favorite tip is to use sweetened shredded coconut for the outer coating because it balances the mild sweetness of the balls perfectly.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats, ground into flour
  • 1/4 cup sucanat or white sugar
  • 1 cup mashed banana, about 2 large bananas
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts, such as almonds
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut for rolling

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grind your flax seeds and rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a fine flour consistency.

  2. 2

    Pour the ground flax and oat mixture into a large bowl, then add the cocoa powder and your choice of sweetener.

  3. 3

    In a separate small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until they are nice and smooth.

  4. 4

    Add the mashed bananas to your dry mixture and stir everything together well using a spoon until fully combined.

  5. 5

    Fold in the chopped nuts.

  6. 6

    With slightly wet hands, roll the dough into balls and then coat them by rolling each one in the shredded coconut.

  7. 7

    Place the finished balls on a parchment paper lined plate and freeze them for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.

💡 Tips

Store these in the freezer to keep them firm and fresh. If you leave them out for more than a few minutes, they will soften, so keep them chilled until just before you are ready to eat. They stay good in the freezer for several weeks.
