- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- Pinch of salt
Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine your peanut butter, rolled oats, honey, chocolate chips, flaxseeds, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula or spoon to stir everything together until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
Chill the mixture: If your mixture feels too soft to shape, pop it in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes. This will help it firm up a bit and make rolling easier.
Shape the balls: Once chilled, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You should get around 12-15 balls, depending on the size you prefer.
Chill again: Once all your energy balls are rolled, place them back in the fridge for another 30 minutes to firm up completely.
Enjoy: After they’ve set, your peanut butter energy balls are ready to enjoy. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
