I love recipes that are forgiving. These vegan, raw, energy balls are just that. The base stays the same but you can add different flavours, ie. vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest or different seeds, ie. hemp hearts, sesame seeds or even a protein boost with some protein powder.
My bestie has a super picky eater, and he gobbles these up. It’s always such as thrill as we silently give each other looks of happiness. I love seeing the pickiest of eaters having a healthy treat. Ahhh, kids…

Honey isn’t considered vegan so switch it out for the maple syrup and it’s perfect!

Love this recipe and how easy it is to modify and add your own flavors to it! I used tahini for my nut butter, raw vegan vanilla protein, and 3 tbsp of carob powder to make it chocolate-y without the acidity or caffeine of cacao. I also used 1/3 cup maple syrup because the protein powder has stevia in it, and they are plenty sweet! Thanks Rachel!
Sorry – used 1/4 cup maple syrup instead of 1/3!
Hi Hannah, thank you for trying out the recipe! We love your modifications — what a great idea!
