Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup nut butter (e.g., peanut butter or almond butter)
- 0.3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the nut butter of your choice, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined and a sticky dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips if you are using them, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line a tray or baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, scoop out some mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands.
Place each rolled ball onto the prepared tray. Repeat the process until all the mixture has been used.
Refrigerate the oat balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Once set, the oat balls are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
