Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (or any nut butter)
- 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Mini dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, unsweetened shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir the mixture thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until the wet and dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 3
Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 4
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your palms. Repeat until all the mixture has been used, forming approximately 12 balls.
Step 5
Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to ensure they set properly.
Step 6
Once chilled, transfer the energy balls to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
Step 7
Enjoy these Tasty Bunches as a quick snack, pre-workout boost, or guilt-free dessert!
