Equipment

1 food processor

Ingredients

1 cup raisins
2 cups rolled oats
⅓ cup sunflower seeds
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅓ cup optional - hemp hearts for more protein
2 tablespoon honey
⅓ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Place the raisins in a small bowl. Pour boiling water over them so they are covered. Let them soak for 5 to 10 minutes until they're soft. Then drain the raisins in a colander, and set them aside.
Pulse the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sea salt, and cinnamon, for 30 seconds until it is like coarse sand. Add the raisins, honey, and hemp hearts if using, then pulse for another 30 seconds until the dough sticks together. Add the chocolate chips and pulse for 10 seconds.
Using a tablespoon roll the dough into balls, it makes about 15 energy balls. Place the balls in a sealed container in the fridge up to three weeks. Or place the bliss balls in the freezer and enjoy them within three months.

Notes

Hemp hearts: Using hemp hearts is optional however it gives the balls a well-balanced taste and increases the protein. You could add a scoop of plain protein powder if you don't have hemp hearts.

Dairy Free: If you desire to make these bites dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips like these enjoy-life ones!
