Step 1

Mix almond butter, cacao powder, maple syrup, and spices together in a bowl until well blended. I like to use a wooden spoon.

Step 2

Stir in the ground flax seeds.

Step 3

Roll the mixture into small balls about 1 tbsp in size, using your hands, and place onto a baking sheet or plate. They will be a little sticky here. If your nut butter was very runny, you may need to add in a bit more ground flax seeds if they are too sticky to roll into balls.

Step 4

If desired, sprinkle the balls with a pinch of chili powder and/or black pepper.

Step 5

Freeze for at least 15 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour to harden.

Step 6

Store in the fridge for a week, or the freezer for a month. I'll doubt they'll last that long!
