Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups old-fashioned oats Use not instant for best texture.
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Stirred if natural.
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips Use dairy-free if making vegan.
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed Acts as a binder and adds omega-3s.
  • 4 tablespoons honey Use maple syrup for a vegan option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the oats, peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, ground flaxseed, and honey into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Stir vigorously until everything is evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed. Add a teaspoon of water or more honey only if it seems too dry.
  3. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Scoop about a tablespoon of mixture and roll into a ball. Repeat until you have about 18 balls.
  5. Transfer the finished balls to an airtight container and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving if you want them firmer.
