Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Measure your ingredients: Gather 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, chocolate chips, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients: Stir in the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should be sticky but not overly wet.
- Check consistency: If the mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of honey or peanut butter. If it’s too wet, sprinkle in a bit more oats.
- Roll into balls: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Chill: Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
- Store: Transfer the chilled energy balls to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing. Adjust sweetness to taste and chill the mixture if too sticky before rolling.
