Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups 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/agave)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, creamy peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and honey. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture is sticky and well combined.
  2. Chill Mixture: Place the sticky mixture in the refrigerator and chill for 10 to 15 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
  3. Roll into Balls: Once the mixture is firm, take portions and roll them into approximately 18 bite-sized balls. Try to make them uniform in size for consistent servings.
  4. Store Properly: Transfer the energy balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to two weeks, ready to enjoy as a quick, nutritious snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan alternative.
  • For added texture and nutrition, consider mixing in chopped nuts or seeds.
  • If the mixture is too sticky to roll, refrigerate for a few more minutes.
  • These energy balls can be frozen for longer storage; thaw in the fridge before eating.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you need a gluten-free version.
