Cooking Steps
- Prepare ingredients: Peel and boil the sweet potato in a medium saucepan for 15β20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and mash until smooth; set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 240 ml (1 cup) of old-fashioned oats; add 120 ml (1/2 cup) of nut butter, 60 ml (1/4 cup) of honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Once the sweet potato is cool, add 240 ml (1 cup, roughly the amount from a medium sweet potato) of the mashed sweet potato to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
- Mix all the ingredients well using a spatula or your hands until thoroughly combined, ensuring even distribution of the oats and sweet potato.
- If desired, fold in any optional add-ins (like chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts) of your choice, up to 120 ml (1/2 cup).
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to help firm it up and make it easier to handle.
- Once chilled, use your hands to scoop and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 30 g/1 oz each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- After rolling, chill the energy balls in the refrigerator for an additional 15β20 minutes to set before serving or storing.
- Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage (up to 3 months).
