Deliciously Ella - Cacao & Almond Energy Balls

Here's a super simple way to make my Cacao & Almond Energy Balls at home. I wanted them to be as simple as possible so there are only six ingredients. This is the recipe that started it all so I'm so happy to share it with you!!

[@emmanuelleaiamijolene3512]

List of ingredients: Pitted dates - 200g Almonds- 100g Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon Almond butter - 1 tablespoon Salt - a pinch Raw cacao powder - 2 tablespoon

[@DewiAPutri-zn2px]

Are those raw or roasted almonds?

[@mahalakshmiv3003]

What instead of almond butter?

[@helinkorkmaz3793]

Mahalakshmi Viswanathan peanut better

[@SxmplyElena]

Thank you for this! 😊

[@mominetti]

Dewi A. Putri I would toast them in the oven for a much more nutty flavour.

[@whostolemyfurcoat]

These are absolutely amazing, sticky and chewy like a raw brownie. I've been feeding them to my boyfriend on the go or when we have early morning meetings and it has the same effect energy-wise as a cup of coffee. On a blind taste test you wouldn't know you were eating something healthy! I never dared eat dates before I saw your videos. Thanks Ella!

[@alankritasinha6585]

This is one the best recipes!!! I have been snacking on them nonstop

[@lolacookie453]

Made these with 50/50 of walnuts and pecans bc I didn’t have any almonds on hand. Toasted them beforehand and let them cool. Also used 60 grams of crunchy peanut butter instead of almond butter and coconut oil. Rolled a few of them in tocos powder to bump them up to “Beautifying Balls” 😂 Tried one before putting them in the refrigerator and they are amazing! 🤤 ❤ Was able to make 24 servings ❤ Thank you! ❤

[@lilyheartslola]

I think it's great that you're showing us how to make these at home. I tried the ginger variety yesterday and loved it!

[@exoticbuho7630]

I love that you're sharing the recipe for your energy balls. Since I don't live in the UK I can't buy them, so thanks Ella. I love the idea of these healthy, simple and easy to make snack idea for people with a sweet tooth! And no baking involved! Just great really!!! I have a lot of food allergies so your channel/blog are life savers for me ;)

[@sandrabee5450]

Ella, you are still my queen, when it comes to healthy inspiration. All started with an illness and you motivated me to not giving up and take my health in my own hands.

[@marinakolyuzhina1389]

They are my family's favorite energy balls. Thank you, Ella!

[@mariagabbott]

For me, I substitute with extra almond butter and instead of coconut oil and they're bomb

[@sushiboats]

These are SO GOOD! I just made them and dusted them with coconut.... Thank you Ella!

[@carolinagonzalez8270]

You are so generous and nice person. Thank you, Ella!

[@TinyVeganTravelers]

Okay I made these! They are absolutely simple and so good! My entire family loves them! Thanks so much

[@lydiacarels774]

I made them yesterday with peacan's and rolled them in some shredded coconut. Soooooo nice! Thank you!

[@kieshabudhoo4174]

Just tried these and it was great. Didn't have almond butter but I made my own, added almond and coconut oil in my bullet to make it. Didn’t have dates so I used crab raisins, added a little honey and boom I don’t need to buy chocolate no more. Thanks a million

[@melissaulrich6511]

just made them... they are SO good!!😍

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

Ι just made them! I toasted the nuts for a couple of minutes in microwaves, then let them cool, blend them, add cinnamon as well, yummy! 😋

[@farahalam1716]

One of the best and easiest recipe, thanks for sharing! X

[@christinaamelia7622]

Love these have been making them since I bought your first book when it first came out. Can't wait for your next couple of books to come out, love your cookbooks. Thanks for all your recipes and inspiration Ella you are so sweet.

[@MarcosCarreraPhoto]

It'd be cool if you could make a kind of "tour" at the factory or place where the energy balls are made! Thanks for the delicious recipes, love these!

[@misscoy05ify]

Absolutely delicious!!! I made these tonight for dessert and I am so happy they worked out!! It's made me hopeful in my efforts to eating healthy AND DELICIOUS foods! Thank you Ella!!

[@tamimaybin1328]

Big hugs from Canada, I can not THANK YOU enough for this amazing recipe, I LOVE THEM.

[@miraniflower]

I made these several times. They are legit! Love it. Thank you.

[@gilidazzledeone]

This is the most satisfying thing I have ever made..making and devouring both..love u Ella and thanks for sharing such a delightful recipe!!

[@BeachBaby75]

Just made these. Omg!!! All I can say is WOW!! I didn’t have almond butter so I used smooth peanut butter from Aldi. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! Will be making these balls all the time!! xoxo

[@johnnyn1964]

Made these for my birthday yesterday. Stunning! Thank you so much 🙏

[@shareith70]

I absolutely love watching your videos...I make the banana and blueberry baked oatmeal once a week and can't get enough of it!

[@maddyking6703]

These are so so delicious, really easy to make and full of goodness! Thanks for such a great recipe! ❤️

[@emmanuelleaiamijolene3512]

I made this earlier. It`s DELICIOUS! Thank you for the recipe

[@JT-in4dz]

Thanks for this yummy recipe! For those who have hard dates just like I had, my tip for you would be to soak them in hot water for like 30mins before mixing with everything else. Then instead of putting cacao powder in the recipe, you can try rolling the completed balls in the powder so they're not sticky from the soaked dates. That's what I did and they were yum :)

[@TheMarmite09]

Thank you so much. I used flaked almonds instead of whole and they came out so amazing and had such a delicate creamy taste.

[@mbrb1000]

Just tried this one... easy and yum. Thank you I'll be trying the other energy balls.

[@daksheeharyani1301]

Just tried your Hazelnut Bites today and oh my god they were delicious!! Couldn’t believe it’s all healthy ingredients. I loved them so much that I wanted to figure out how to make them at home ASAP. Cut to 2 mins later, I’m on KZbin typing in random keywords… and I find this channel! Never realised there’s an entire Deliciously Ella channel out here with recipes of your best products! Can’t wait to try your other products and recipes - your brand is truly a great find!

[@lovecara1]

Wow they look amazing. Thank you for the video. I just take my lap top in the kitchen and follow recipes.

[@bojanastefanovska47]

I just made these and they taste reallyyyy yummy! Thanks for the recipe! P. S. I used peanut butter instead of almond :)

[@rumanahuq3244]

what are the measurments

[@beatrixbeatrix8452]

THEY CAME OUT PERFECT! THEY'RE IN THE REGRIGERATOR HARDENING UP A BIT. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zoeeparker4132]

Just whipped up a batch of these and the cashew/ginger ones! My fridge now looks WAY too delicious! Absolutely loving your recipes lately! Cannot get enough of your app! I'm always on it! X

[@deliciouslyella]

Thanks so much! So happy you are loving the recipes x

[@lenablucci]

omg! I made these and the cashew ginger ones... I really didn't think they'd taste this good, they don't taste "healthy", just really decadent! Yum! Thank you Ella for the recipes :)

[@TO-lk4op]

Just made them! So good! Love watching your videos. Going to make more of your recipes.

[@91elphaba]

Omgosh can’t believe they ended up so good! And so easy to make! I made with cashew butter though, because I didn’t have any almond one, but it turned out amazing too! Thank you :)

[@lisarkippen2182]

These treats look delicious. I can't wait to try them.

[@VirginiaFeuRosa]

Wow!!! This is simply delicious!! Thank you so much!!

[@juliequick5526]

I made last week's recipe for another ant ginger and they were delish! I've also made some of these cocoa ones before and I can honestly say I have no cravings for anything else sweet. Thank you for sharing these :)

[@tinamiles7199]

They taste so good, thank you for the recipe. I added a few drops of peppermint oil into the mix 😍

[@nimimurugappan441]

Very tasty, i just tried it. Thank you posting this video.

[@Honey_1012]

I love that these are keto friendly so I will be making them later today for my sugar fix so thank you. Edit ..I have now made them and they are delicious, great for that chocolate craving fix, perfect for my keto lifestyle. I also made some and swapped out the almonds for walnuts and then rolled them in coconut, also delicious.

[@fireblade9781]

they are definitely not keto friendly lol.

[@jcchrome3381]

The dates would add a LOT of carbs to these, if you're not aware. I'm looking at the recipe and wondering how to 1) eliminate the dates and 2) bump up the protein. A protein powder/collagen powder may work, but will be drying. So the dates need to be replaced with something sticky and low-calorue sweet. I think I've seen a syrup by NuNaturaks--chocolate woukd work since there's cacao; but they have an unflavored and a vanilla, I think. It's an interesting recipe, but the dates are an issue for those watching carbs.

[@caligurl81vh]

just made these, they are delicious! thank you!

[@satravikaur]

so so glad I found you. thanks for these amazing videos and recipes

[@francesandrews5506]

Still love making theses

[@variolaa]

[@TracyKNixon]

What a fun recipe! I must try out this one! Thank you x

[@klaudinegarcia8932]

I just made these!! They're so delicious! 😋 Thanks for sharing! 😊❤

[@seanomight5401]

Would be awesome to see the ingredients in the description. But looks good. I'll have to research it when I'm ready to make it later.

[@Lolilydavey]

Wow it’s so easy n look so good 😋😋😋

[@ScreenPrintR]

These are my favorite. I substitute the dates for prunes. Prunes have less carbs. Thank you.

[@varethika]

How did you use them? Do I have to soke them in water or milk for some time? Thanks

[@ScreenPrintR]

@@varethika I used prunes, not dates. Blended them. Also I baked them.

[@varethika]

@@ScreenPrintR baked them?! For how long?

[@ScreenPrintR]

@@varethika like 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. You can eat them raw too.

[@ScreenPrintR]

I was thinking of making a batch. How about adding two eggs, and baking soda. Then baking them. What does everyone think? Have you tried a baking receipe?

[@rachelberoindesengo8473]

I just made this today... and omg so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe Ella ❤️

[@deliciouslyella]

So happy to hear that :) xx

[@demkg718]

Hello! Thank you! This video was very useful. And I have a question. How long expiration date?

[@angelasjourneysince1956]

OK...my bad. This is the first time I have ever bought or used dates. Followed the steps. And while making the balls...found there were PITS in the dates. I did not know, have never been a date girl. So! Glad I found this before serving to the fam. They are really yummy!! OK just rewatched...you do say add pitted dates...missed that. First time for everything! lol

[@ellacruickshank4387]

Just made these, they are soooo yummy!

[@janedoe8585]

These are the best energy balls I have ever had! Delicious!!!!😁 You can roll them in coconut shred (dont know if thats the right english word for it) after they are ready! Jummi!

[@Ambernova59]

Looking forward to trying the "sweet potato brownies"

[@tdchd8130]

Could you do a factory video how they are made?

[@deliciouslyella]

Great idea, I'd love to do that! X

[@tdchd8130]

Whats in my fridge video too 😁 would be very inspiring

[@eshaadhikary4112]

[@emmakennedy265]

Absolutely love these, thanks Ella :)

[@Dm-tl9lz]

So delicious..👍🏼

[@TheConscientiousEater]

Ah thanks for sharing this! I live in China and I have to make everything from scratch if I want to eat a plant-based, whole food diet..which I do! I'm making these tomorrow!

[@danielsmithiv1279]

Wow...I've been making my energy balls by hand with only peanut butter, whole oats, and chocolate chip the entire time -_- And I stopped doing it often because it got too sticky and messy and I hated it! But a blender? And sesame oil? I wouldn't have known!! Thank you Ella-SAN

[@mbminhas08]

I let my dates sit in water for a bit to soften them and now my paste is too gooey ! I still was able to make balls with them . Any suggestion on how to make them a bit more solid ? Should I pop them in the freezer ?

[@mariannaeaton]

I just made them and OMG .....so good. I have a problem controlling myself not to eat to many at once

[@lisarkippen2182]

What kind of food processor is that? It is really nice.

[@koshowulf]

Did you have a sneaky spoon of almond butter while making this hehe? :) x

[@rachaelgoslan8110]

Ha ha!! I saw that too

[@hannahsowter1532]

[@lole3939]

....

[@Jensters]

Wow I'm new to your channel Ella and i made your very tasty energy balls added a teaspoon of chia seeds too and love them.....thank you for sharing :)

[@catalinaungureanu1558]

You need to drink much water after eating those with chia, bec you could have serious problems.

[@fici8890]

Catalina Ungureanu why ? :0

[@rach2708]

Fi Ci there is no problem with eating chia, don’t worry x

[@ellacruickshank4387]

I can't wait to try these!

[@athee7849]

I'm not allowed consume so much nuts, so can I subtitute the almond with oats?

[@jeanneamato8278]

A melon baller would make it even easier. Will make.

[@asyamohamad1422]

Love this recipe!!!!

[@denecanon9217]

Love ❤️ your ginger/cashew flavor

[@wistfxlwishes]

You can make these without as much preparation with the chocolate brownie flavoured clif bars! Just break off little pieces and roll them up, and I like to put sticks in them and make brownie energy pops

[@beadydani]

I have been a huge fan before your first book. When are you going to attend one of the food shops here in the UK. It will be great to see you do a live demo and of course see you in the flesh❤

[@mikeskylark1594]

[@truesight91]

[@sandeesandee2562]
