Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 0.3 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt. Mix well.
Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until well combined and the mixture comes together.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using your hands, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. If the mixture is too sticky, you can lightly wet your hands to make it easier to roll.
Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Once set, store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
