Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups 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/agave)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the oats, peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and honey until well combined and sticky.
  2. Chill Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes to allow it to firm up and become easier to handle.
  3. Form Balls: Remove from the refrigerator and roll the mixture into approximately 18 bite-sized balls, shaping them evenly.
  4. Store: Place the energy balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two weeks to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup or agave instead of honey for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Customize by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for added texture and flavor.
  • Keep refrigerated, but energy balls can be frozen for longer storage.
  • Ensure peanut butter is smooth for easiest mixing and rolling.
  • Roll balls tightly to prevent crumbling.
