Notes
The chunkier you leave the oat mixture, the more you’ll struggle to get the balls to hold together.
If portioning the cinnamon energy bites with your hands, grease them with coconut oil so that they don’t stick. You may need to re-grease as you roll.
If your mixture is a bit sticky, place the bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up before you portion them.
Once you’re ready to store, separate the cinnamon balls with layers of parchment paper if you need to stack them. This will help prevent them from sticking.
The recipe makes 9-12 balls depending on size. The nutrition is based on 11 balls.
