To make the balls, all you have to do is blend all of the ingredients in a high-speed food processor and then roll into balls. I highly recommend using a Thermomix (no this is not a sponsored post – I’m just obsessed with my Thermomix!). In 10 seconds flat, these energy balls will be ready to be rolled.

My Thermomix is honestly the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I love it because it combines more than 12 appliances and functions (weighing, mixing, chopping, milling, kneading, blending, steaming, cooking, whisking, precise heating, stirring, and emulsifying) into ONE handy machine. It’s literally “the world’s smallest, smartest kitchen”.  Instead of spending money on a bunch of different appliances, I suggest you make an investment and get the best of all in one! It will make your life (and kitchen) much, much better. I promise! If you are interested in learning more about Thermomix, head over here or shoot me an email at bakedambrosia@gmail.com.

Ok, so now that you’ve made your raw energy balls, how do you store them?

You can either store your Salted Maple Pecan Pie Energy Balls in the fridge or freezer. They will last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. What I like to do with my energy bites is place them on a cookie sheet and pop them into the freezer for a couple of hours before placing them in a zipper storage bag. I store the bag in the freezer, so that I always have a healthy snack on hand. They will last in the freezer for up to 3 months, but you will probably eat them way before then!
