Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and a pinch of salt.
Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
Stir the mixture with a spoon or spatula until everything is evenly combined. The texture should be sticky but firm enough to hold its shape. Add 1–2 tablespoons of additional oats if the mixture is too wet.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls.
Place the energy balls on a plate or baking sheet. If desired, refrigerate for 20–30 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.
Enjoy as a quick snack or pre/post-workout energy boost!
