Ingredients
  

1 cup oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir ingredients together until evenly mixed.

    Once all ingredients are thoroughly combined, you will have a sticky, dough-like consistency.

      Take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball between your palms. Repeat this step until all of the mixture is formed into energy balls.

        Place the rolled energy balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

          For an extra bit of zest, you can roll the energy balls in chopped nuts or coconut flakes if desired.

            Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

              Once chilled, enjoy your zesty lemon burst energy balls as a healthy snack or energy boost on the go!
