Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened recommended)
- 1/3 cup honey (raw or regular)
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine peanut butter and honey in a mixing bowl and stir well until smooth and fully blended, about 2 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt; stir gently to combine.
- Mix in rolled oats and ground flaxseed until evenly coated and distributed.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips carefully to avoid melting.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon (15g) of mixture and roll into tight balls. Place on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Repeat to make 18-20 balls.
- Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes before serving to set shape and texture.
Notes
Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing. Chill mixture before rolling to reduce stickiness. Adjust oats or flaxseed if mixture is too sticky or dry. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
