Mmmmmmm … these Walnut Oatmeal Energy Balls are as if a delicious no-bake cookie met up with the best bowl of oatmeal you ever tasted!
Place 1 cup walnuts in a mini food processor. Process, scraping sides occasionally, until the walnut butter is the consistency of natural peanut butter (about 2 minutes, depending on your processor).
Place walnut butter in a medium bowl and add all other ingredients (oats, flaxseed meal, dates, coconut, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, honey, vanilla, and salt).
If you are making big double or triple-batches (or more!), don't worry if you don't have time to shape all the balls right after you mix the ingredients together.
