Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats for heartiness
  • ½ cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter) works wonderfully
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup substitute with agave for a vegan option
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (such as raisins or cranberries)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds for added nutrition
  • a pinch salt to enhance flavors

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), chocolate chips, chia seeds, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
  2. Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, aiming for about one inch in diameter.
  3. Place the formed energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to help them firm up.
  4. Once chilled, store the energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last up to a week.
