Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup Natural creamy peanut butter (unsalted)
- 0.3 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup Mini dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, ground flaxseed, mini dark chocolate chips, and chia seeds. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
In a separate small bowl, mix the natural creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything together until the mixture is evenly moistened and sticks together easily.
Once combined, scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your palms. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used. You should have about 12 energy balls.
Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined baking tray or plate. For best results, refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy them as a quick snack or a pre/post-workout energy boost!
