Ferrero Rocher Energy Balls

These chocolaty hazelnuty no bake oat energy balls will be giving you ferrero rocher vibes, but in healthier oat/granola ball form. They’re also gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free & vegan.

We start by making a chocolate hazelnut oat energy ball, stuff it with a whole hazelnut, then dip it in chocolate hazelnut coating.

Energy Balls

► 1 cup gf quick oats

► ½ cup almond butter

► 6 tbsp maple syrup

► ¼ cup crushed hazelnuts

► ¼ cup ground flax

► 3 tbsp cocao powder

► 1 tsp vanilla

► ½ tsp sea salt

For the Centers

►16 whole hazelnuts

Coating

► 1 cup df/v chocolate

► 1 tbsp coconut oil

► 2 tbsp crushed hazelnuts

Optional Topping:

► sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts

► or flakey sea salt

Instructions

1. Combine energy ball ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and mix until well combined

2. Scoop into 16 balls, stuff each one with a whole hazelnut and place int he fridge while you melt your coating

3. In a heat proof bowl combine your coconut oil and chocolate chips and microwave in 30 second bursts until melted and smooth

4. Add 2 tbsp of crushed hazelnuts & stir into the chocolate for the classic ferrero rocher look. Dip each ball into the chocolate hazelnut mixture (I like to use 2 forks to let the excess chocolate drip off).

5. Optional: before the chocolate hardens you can sprinkle with more crushed hazelnuts or with flakey sea salt, then pop into the fridge until set.

6. Dig in & enjoy!!
