Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, rolled oats, honey (or maple syrup), flaxseed meal, and vanilla extract.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chia seeds (if using) to evenly distribute throughout the mixture.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. You should get about 12 balls.
Place the peanut butter balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate to prevent sticking.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Once chilled, store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or in the freezer for longer storage.
