Ingredients:
- 2 cups (180g) Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (125g) Creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup (80ml) Raw honey
- 1/2 cup (85g) Semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (60g) Ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp (5ml) Pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk together until a smooth, uniform paste forms.
- Fold in the rolled oats and ground flaxseed using a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon. Stir vigorously until every oat flake is thoroughly coated in the binder.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips once the mixture is uniform. If the mixture is too warm from the nut butter, wait 2 minutes before adding chips to prevent melting.
- Using a small cookie scoop (1-tablespoon size), portion the dough and roll between your palms into tight spheres.
- Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the oats to hydrate and the texture to firm up.
