Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Stir: Place all ingredients in a large bowl and stir together until well combined, ensuring the mixture is uniform and sticky enough to hold its shape.
- Chill: Transfer the mixture to the fridge and let it chill for 30 minutes to firm up, which will make it easier to roll into balls.
- Roll into balls: Remove the mixture from the fridge and use about 1 tablespoon per ball to shape into small, bite-sized energy balls.
- Store: Place the energy balls in a covered container and store them in the refrigerator or freezer to keep fresh.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- You can add mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruits according to preference.
- Store energy balls in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months for best freshness.
- If the mixture is too dry to roll, add an extra tablespoon of honey or peanut butter.
