Homemade Apple Pie Energy Balls with Maca

Save Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 organic apple (chopped (note: I like to keep the skins on for extra fiber))
  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (I like Salba chia)
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 2 tablespoons gelatinized maca (such as Vega brand)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch or two of unrefined sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place all ingredients in a food processor. Process until well blended.
  3. Spread the mixture out evenly in a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and allow mixture to cool for 10 minutes. Use a tablespoon to scoop mixture into balls and use your hands to smooth and shape. Place the energy balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and transfer to the freezer for 1 hour before eating. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

I make all of my whole grains, such as the quinoa in this recipe, in a rice cooker. However, if you don’t have time to make quinoa, you can always pick up frozen quinoa from your natural foods store to save time.
