Chocolate Hazelnut Energy Bites on board

My new favorite energy balls are here! You just can't go wrong with anything Nutella flavored. Am I right, or am I right? Keep these stored in your fridge to enjoy throughout the week, but I guarantee they will be gone within 3 days!

Why make these no bake balls?

They are...

  1. gluten free
  2. grain free
  3. refined sugar free
  4. SO easy to make
  5. require no baking
  6. taste like healthy Nutella or a healthy Ferrero Rocher

I like to think of myself as the No Bake Recipe Queen. After you make this recipe, check out these other awesome no bake recipes...

Ingredients in this recipe

  • almond flour
  • cacao powder
  • hazelnuts
  • creamy drippy almond butter (Ensure it's nice and drippy. If it's thick and lumpy, it will not mix well.)
  • pure maple syrup
  • melted dark chocolate for drizzling (optional)

Do the hazelnuts have to be roasted and peeled?

Nope. We don't have time for that. Just throw them into the food processor!

Because nuts can be very expensive, I wanted to recommend purchasing them from Trader Joe's. They sell basically every type of nut and they are much cheaper than most grocery stores. I particularly love buying cashews, hazelnuts and macadamia nuts from there. You know I love nuts and they are included in A LOT of my recipes, so I thought I would mention that.
