Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups whole rolled oats
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Pinch sea salt (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, peanut butter, ground flaxseed, honey, vanilla extract, mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and shredded coconut. If using unsalted peanut butter, include a pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture becomes thick.
  2. Form Balls: Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the mixture, then roll each portion between your hands to form smooth, firm balls.
  3. Chill: Arrange the energy balls on a large plate or baking sheet. Place them in the refrigerator to chill for 1 to 2 hours or until they are firm enough to hold their shape.
  4. Store: Keep the energy balls stored in the fridge for up to one week for freshness. Alternatively, they freeze well if you want to preserve them longer.

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter used is creamy and natural for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter ball, increase honey slightly, but be mindful of stickiness.
  • These energy balls can be customized by swapping chocolate chips with dried fruit or seeds.
  • Chilling is essential to help the balls firm up and hold their shape.
  • Perfect snack for kids and adults alike, easily made together with children.
