Ingredients
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup ground flaxseed
- 4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, or agave
Instructions
Mix the Ingredients
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, flaxseed, and honey.
- Stir until the mixture is fully incorporated and dough-like.
Chill
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to firm slightly.
Roll
- Use your hands to roll the dough into 18 bite-sized energy balls.
Store
- Place in an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze as desired.
Notes
If the mixture feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons honey or a spoonful of peanut butter.
Too sticky? Stir in a little extra oats or flaxseed.
Swap mini chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks if you want richer bites.
Use natural peanut butter or traditional—either works.
