How long do these energy balls last?

Energy balls keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months — perfect for meal prep!

My mixture is too sticky to roll. What do I do?

Refrigerate the mixture for longer — at least 30-45 minutes. If still too sticky, add more oats a tablespoon at a time. The mixture should be slightly tacky but holdable.

Can I substitute the nut butter?

Absolutely! Any nut or seed butter works: peanut butter, sunflower seed butter (for nut-free), tahini, or cashew butter. Each gives a slightly different flavor.
