Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup peanut butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and salt.
Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls with your hands.
Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate to prevent sticking.
