Have you ever tried Nutella? It’s this rich, creamy and oh-so sweet spread that’s made out of hazelnuts, cocoa powder and sugar. It’s ridiculously indulgent and one of the most beloved dessert spreads out there.

Only problem? It’s a bit unrealistic to eat everyday… and a bit dangerous for some of us to keep on hand (I’m looking at your Erik!) Erik and I found a healthier version made with whole ingredients, blah blah blah, but it turns out that was still too dangerous to keep on hand…

So guess what I came up with? Healthy nutella balls that you (and me and Erik, ahem!) can enjoy any time, any day… without any of the guilt. 😉 Think: decadent hazelnut chocolate balls, without the maxed out sugary vibes, and with the energy boost from healthy fats.

You in? Let’s no bake this!

How to Make Hazelnut Chocolate Energy Balls

Learn how to make hazelnut chocolate balls in just a few easy steps!

Line

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Head to the freezer and clear some space for this sheet—you won’t need it just yet.

Stir & Fold

Grab a medium mixing bowl and add in the hazelnut butter, maple syrup, coconut flour and raw cacao powder. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold all the ingredients together until you get a soft dough-like consistency—this is your hazelnut chocolate energy ball mixture!

Scoop

Scoop and drop the hazelnut chocolate energy ball mixture onto that baking sheet you lined earlier.

Chill & Enjoy

Place the sheet into the freezer and chill your chocolate energy balls until firm. Then, enjoy the yummiest Nutella energy balls!

Storing Instructions: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 1-3 weeks. Bites will become drier, but are still tasty in the 3rd week.

Freezing Instructions: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 months. Firm, but soft enough to eat straight out of the freezer.
