Energy Balls

Place the oats in a large mixing bowl. Add the cinnamon and salt, and stir to combine. Set aside.

Toast the nuts: Warm the pecans and almonds in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, until they smell nicely fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Transfer them to the bowl of a food processor (if you don't have a food processor, pour them onto a cutting board), then return the skillet to the heat and add the pepitas. Warm the pepitas until they are fragrant and beginning to make little popping noises, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Lastly, add the flax and cook for about 30 seconds while stirring constantly, then transfer the mixture to the food processor.

Blitz the mix-ins briefly in the food processor (or chop them by hand). Run the machine until the ingredients are all broken up into pieces smaller than your pinky fingernail. Pour the mix-ins into the bowl of oats.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a big spoon to mix them together until the two are evenly combined and no dry oats remain. This takes some arm muscles, but you can do it!

Use a medium cookie scoop or measure a heaping tablespoon of the mixture, then roll it into a ball and place it in an airtight container. Repeat until you have used up the oat mixture.
