Instructions
- Prepare the energy balls: add all energy ball ingredients (except poppy seeds) to a food processor and process until a doughy consistency is reached. Add in the poppy seeds and pulse a few times to combine. Wet your hands slightly, and shape dough into ~20 ping-pong sized balls. Place balls on lined plate as you go. Freeze balls for about 20 minutes to get them firm before coating with glaze.
- Make the glaze: add glaze ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Dunk each ball in the glaze until fully coated and place glazed ball back onto parchment-lined plate. The glaze should harden almost immediately due to the frozen balls, however, if it doesn’t, simply place plate back in the freezer.
- Enjoy right away, or store in refrigerator or freezer.
