Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 4 tablespoons honey, or maple syrup or agave
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and honey. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully incorporated into a sticky dough.
- Chill the mixture: Transfer the bowl to the fridge and chill the mixture for 10-15 minutes to help the batter firm up and become easier to handle for rolling.
- Form energy balls: Once chilled, roll the mixture into 18 bite-sized balls using your hands, making sure they are compact and well-formed.
- Store properly: Place the energy balls in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks, making them a convenient ready-to-eat snack.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- Use natural or creamy peanut butter without added sugar for a healthier choice.
- For extra texture or flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
- Keep the balls refrigerated to maintain their shape and freshness.
