Ingredients

• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.3333 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
• 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, rolled oats, honey, ground flaxseed, mini chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Add chia seeds if desired.

Step 2

Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix all the ingredients together until well combined and a thick, sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 4

Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Repeat this process until all the mixture is used, forming approximately 12-14 energy balls.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.

Step 7

Once chilled, transfer the energy balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months for a longer shelf life.
