Storing Tips
These energy balls can be kept in the fridge until you have no more left because you ate them all. 🙂 They are that good!!!!!
True story, on the first recipe test batch of these Maple Tahini Energy Balls all 24 were gone in two days. I knew right then that this recipe is a winner!
If they are too firm straight out the fridge, let them chill for a few minutes to soften.
What’s good for you
In addition to being insanely addictive, these energy balls are so good for you as well. They are packed with calcium, zinc and iron from the sesame seeds, fiber from the oats, protein, magnesium, and selenium from the sunflower seeds, and natural sugars from the medjool dates and the pure maple syrup.
