In a food processor, process the first four Ingredients for 20 seconds until fine crumbs.
Add the almond butter and honey and pulse until a nice and sticky dough forms.
Roll into 10 equal balls by using a tablespoon measuring spoon or a mini ice-cream scooper.
Once rolled, dip them in any toppings you enjoy or leave them plain. Store them in the fridge to firm up for at least an hour and enjoy.

Add-ins and Toppings: Have fun with these by rolling them in any toppings you like such as cacao, nuts, or coconut. You can even add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to spice things up a bit.
Alternate shapes: You could make energy bars by pressing the mixture firmly into an 8x8-inch parchment lined baking pan to chill, and then slicing into energy bars instead of rolling them into balls.
Nut-free substitutions: If you are allergic to nuts you can try replacing the almond with any seeds of choice. Pumpkin or sunflower seeds work really well in this recipe. You can also substitute the nut butter for SunButter.
Vegan substitutions: If you're vegan, use agave or maple syrup as a sweetener instead of honey.
Add extra protein: You can amp up the nutritional value even more in these Energy Balls by adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a little extra nut butter or a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
