Notes

For best results, ensure that your almond butter is well-stirred to incorporate any separated oils before mixing. You can substitute peanut butter if preferred. If the mixture feels too sticky to roll, refrigerate for 10 minutes before forming the balls. Adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less honey as desired. These oatmeal balls are perfect for a quick energy boost and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
