Creating these amazing Trail Mix Energy Balls is simple. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried fruits, seeds, and a pinch of salt.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.

3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly coated and mixed. The mixture should be sticky but easy to handle.

4. Form Balls: With your hands, take a small amount of the mixture (about a tablespoon) and roll it into a ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

5. Chill (Optional): If desired, place the energy balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm them up. This step is optional but makes handling easier.

6. Store: Once set, transfer the energy balls to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for longer preservation.

These steps will guide you in whipping up a batch of Trail Mix Energy Balls that are not just tasty but also incredibly satisfying!
