Instructions

Start by placing the cashew nuts in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped.
Add the oatmeal, protein powder, golden linseed, dried cranberries, and dried apricots to the food processor. Pulse until everything is well combined.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Add the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and almond butter to the food processor. Pulse again until the mixture comes together and forms a sticky dough.
Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, the Cashew Cranberry Energy Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

Storage: Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
