Peanut-Free Sunflower Energy Balls are an excellent choice for someone with tree nut allergies and perfect for after-school snacking. They are quickly becoming my go-to snacks between meals and before or after working out.
Keeping this nutritious sunflower energy treat in the fridge is a great idea because they are not only delicious but a good source of:
- Protein
- Fiber
- Zinc
- Iron
You can whip up a batch of these healthy homemade treats in about 15 minutes. This is a fun recipe for kids to help with too.
To Make Sunflower Energy Balls You Will Need These Ingredients:
- Sunflower seed butter ~ I used SunButter
- Pure maple syrup
- Old-fashioned oats ~ gluten-free if needed
- Sunflower seed flour or oat flour
- Ground cinnamon
- Salt
- Dried blueberries or chocolate chips (or both) ~ omit dried blueberries for Low FODMAP
Store energy balls in the refrigerator or freezer. They are easy to bite into, even when frozen.
