Halvah Energy Balls

Serving Size: 10 People

These nourishing lactation energy balls were born out of Batel's journey as a new mom of twins, looking for a healthy way to boost milk production. Combining oats, flax seeds, nuts, tahini, and honey, she created a delicious, halvah-inspired snack that’s perfect for nursing moms—or anyone craving a wholesome treat. Freezer-friendly and packed with goodness, they became my daily go-to, helping her stay energized while juggling life with twins.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup hazelnut flour or almond meal
1/3 cup walnuts Raw; roughly chopped
1/3 cup pecans Raw; roughly chopped
1/3 cup shelled pistachios Raw, roughly chopped
2 tablespoon hemp seeds
2 tablespoon ground flax seeds
3 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt

Wet Ingredients:

1 cup tahini whole tahini preferred if available
1/2 cup honey or date syrup, add another 1/4 cup if needed to help form the balls
2 tablespoon coconut oil melted
½ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips

For Coating

½ cup pecans crushed
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

In a food processor combine: walnuts, pecans, and pistachios—pulse a few times to get nice medium sized chunks. (Not a fine powder, you want to keep the crunch.)
In a bowl place the oats, hazelnut flour, hemp seeds, flax, cocoa powder, salt, cinnamon. Mix with a spoon and set aside.
In a glass bowl, combine the tahini paste, honey, chocolate chips, and coconut oil. Heat for about a minute in the microwave or stove, just to allow the chocolate to melt.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients well and let sit for about 10 minutes.
Prepare a coating by chopping the pecans, and preparing the shredded coconut in a bowl.
In another bowl have some water and start forming the energy balls. Dip each one in the water for a second and then directly into the chopped nuts or shredded coconut. Place on a baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours or more. Then transfer to a zip-top bag or a container. Keep them in the freezer or fridge.
Note: If you chose to freeze them, allow sitting for 5 minutes before eating. OR, place in the microwave for 15 seconds just enough to be able to bight. They don't really need to be warm.
