Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups almond butter
- 0.33 cups honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups chopped almonds
- 0.25 cups mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseeds, chopped almonds, salt, and mini chocolate chips (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the larger bowl.
Using a spatula or clean hands, mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together.
Scoop out approximately 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and roll it into a ball using your palms.
Repeat until all the mixture is used up. You should end up with about 12 balls, depending on their size.
Place the oatmeal almond balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the balls for at least 20 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
