Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup peanut butter
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 salt pinch

Method
 

Mix the base
  1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until well combined and thick.
  2. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.
Chill and roll
  1. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to firm up slightly, and it should hold together when pressed.
  2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands, and keep them uniform so they store and snack evenly.
Store
  1. Store the peanut butter oatmeal energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week for best texture.

Notes

Pro tip: wet your hands slightly before rolling to prevent sticking and help you form clean 1-inch balls. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week; freeze for up to 3 months. For a dietary swap, use maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness profile (texture will be similar after chilling).
