Workout Wednesday - Junior - How to make energy balls with BST Sailor Anna Carpenter - April 29

Energy balls - Recipe Ingredients: • 90g (1 cup) oats • 30g (¼ cup) milled chia seed1 • 30g (¼ cup) milled flaxseed1 • 160g (2/3 cup) almond butter2 • 100g (¼ cup + 1 tbsp) maple syrup (or honey) • 60g (½ cup) dried cranberries3 Method: 1. Place a sheet of baking paper onto a baking tray or chopping board. 2. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir to fully combine. 3. Lightly grease your hands with some vegetable or coconut oil and use your hands to mould the mixture into approximately 12-15 balls. 4. Place these on the pre-prepare baking paper and they are ready to eat immediately or can be stored in an air-tight container for sailing snacks!4 Recipe notes: 1 You can use any ground seeds here at long as they equal ½ cup in total. 2 Almond butter can be substituted for peanut or cashew butter. You can make your own if you are feeling very adventurous! 3 The cranberries can be substituted for any dried fruit, chopped nuts or chocolate chips but I would recommend sticking to approximately ½-¾ cup or the balls may not bind together, and note that this will alter the nutritional information. 4 If you are making them more a few days in advance, store them in the fridge for up to a week or you can freeze them for up to 3 months. They will become dry and crumbly as they get older so I would recommend making them as fresh as possible.
