No-bake Apple Cinnamon Energy Balls are a delicious, allergen-friendly snack for the entire family. Because they use sunflower seed butter instead of nut butters, they are a school-approved treat!
Apples and cinnamon are one of my favorite flavor combos year-round! I’ve featured this flavor combo throughout the blog such as in my Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats, Hot Apple Pie Punch, Applesauce Donuts, Cinnamon Apple Breakfast Barley, and Cinnamon Honeycrisp Apple Chips.
That’s why I loved the idea of using this flavor combination to make a simple and delicious no-bake cookie that is sweet and most importantly, school-approved.
The beauty of these sweet, fiber-rich apple cinnamon energy balls is that you can customize them to suit your taste (and allergies). For example, if your household isn’t nut free, feel free to use peanut butter or almond butter. Otherwise, stick with sunflower seed butter for the same delicious taste. You can also roll these apple cinnamon bites in coconut, cocoa powder, chopped chocolate, chopped nuts or leave as is. We’ve tried all variations and are fans of them all!
