Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup peanut butter
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or cashews)
• 0.25 cup dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
• 0.25 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal (if using). Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until slightly warmed and easier to mix. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to combine until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 4

Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into compact balls. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly wet your hands with water to help shape them.

Step 5

Place the Trail Mix Balls on a plate or baking tray lined with parchment paper. Once all the mixture is used, chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 6

Store the Trail Mix Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy as a quick, nutritious snack anytime!
