Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (or any nut butter)
- 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Mini dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, unsweetened shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir the mixture thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until the wet and dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your palms. Repeat until all the mixture has been used, forming approximately 12 balls.
Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to ensure they set properly.
Once chilled, transfer the energy balls to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
Enjoy these Tasty Bunches as a quick snack, pre-workout boost, or guilt-free dessert!
