Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
- 0.3 cup honey
- 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 0.5 cup of natural peanut butter, 0.3 cup of honey, 0.25 cup of ground flaxseed, 0.5 cup of chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until well combined. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together. If it's too dry, add a bit more honey or peanut butter.
Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into small balls. Continue shaping until all of the mixture has been used and you have approximately 12 balls.
Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months for a quick and healthy snack anytime.
