Ingredients
Scale
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
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, creamy peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and honey. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a sticky, cohesive batter.
- Chill Mixture: Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. This helps the batter to firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
- Form Energy Balls: Remove the chilled mixture from the fridge and roll it into 18 evenly sized bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Store: 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 grab-and-go snack.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
- Use natural or crunchy peanut butter for added texture variation.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
- For extra nutrition, consider mixing in a handful of chia seeds or protein powder.
- These energy balls can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw before eating.
