Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter (natural or creamy)
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt (if using unsalted peanut butter)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
Stir in rolled oats, flaxseed or chia seeds, and salt if needed. Mix until well combined.
Fold in mini chocolate chips, if using.
Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store in the fridge or freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Chill the mixture before rolling if it’s too sticky.
Add more oats if the mixture is too wet, or more peanut butter if too dry.
Can be dipped in melted chocolate for a dessert-style treat.
Customize with dried fruit, nuts, or coconut flakes for extra flavor.
