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: Combine the oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, flaxseed, and honey in a medium bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated into a sticky, uniform mixture.
- Chill Mixture: Transfer the bowl to the fridge and let the batter set for 10-15 minutes. This chilling step helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
- Roll into Balls: Remove the mixture from the fridge and roll it into 18 bite-sized balls using your hands, forming compact and even spheres.
- Store: Place the energy balls in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- You can add a pinch of salt if using unsalted peanut butter to balance flavors.
- Feel free to add extra mix-ins like chia seeds, shredded coconut, or dried fruit for variation.
- These energy balls do not require baking and are perfect for a quick and healthy snack.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more peanut butter or honey; if too wet, add a bit more oats or flaxseed.
