Name: The Ultimate Pre-Workout Snack: Plum Energy Balls
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Yield: 15 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup, pitted Plums, dried , uncooked; 1 1 cup Hazelnuts; 2 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder, not reconstituted; 15 gram Flaxseed, ground; 1 dash Salt, table; 125 gram Chocolate dip

If your prunes feel stiff, soak them in hot water for 5–10 minutes, then drain thoroughly. Skip this if they are already soft and juicy

Place the hazelnuts in a food processor or blender. Pulse until they form a coarse crumble (keep some texture for a nice crunch), but do not blend them into powder

Add the prunes, cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, and salt into the food processor with the nuts. Blend until a sticky, cohesive dough forms and clumps together. If it feels too dry to roll, add 1 tablespoon of hot water or coffee and blend again

Scoop out bite-sized portions and roll them tightly between your palms into balls. Place them on a plate lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up

Chop the couverture chocolate and place it in a bowl. Melt it either using a double boiler (bain-marie) or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between

Using a fork, dip each energy ball into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place them back onto the parchment paper

Return the coated balls to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate shell sets completely

Enjoy ☺️
