Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup 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 or agave)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the oats, peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and honey. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are completely incorporated into a sticky, dough-like consistency.
- Chill the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture to the refrigerator and chill for 10 to 15 minutes. This helps firm up the batter, making it easier to shape.
- Form the Balls: Once chilled, roll the mixture into 18 bite-sized balls using your hands. Ensure they are evenly sized for consistent texture and portions.
- Store Properly: Place the energy balls in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- For firmer energy balls, chill longer before rolling.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.
- These energy balls can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw before eating.
- Add a pinch of salt or cinnamon for extra flavor if desired.
