Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup or agave)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, creamy peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and honey. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a sticky, uniform mixture.
  2. Chill Mixture: Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and chill for 10 to 15 minutes. This step helps the batter to set, making it easier to roll into balls.
  3. Form Energy Balls: Remove the chilled mixture from the fridge and roll it into 18 bite-sized balls using your hands. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even portions.
  4. Store: Store the peanut butter energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave to make it vegan.
  • For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds.
  • These energy balls can also be frozen for extended storage; thaw before eating.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more oats or flaxseed to firm it up.
