Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter well-stirred
  • 0.33 cup honey or use maple syrup
  • 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
  • 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.13 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut optional, for rolling

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Stir oats, flaxseed, chia, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Warm peanut butter and honey in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to loosen, then whisk in vanilla.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until evenly sticky.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips until distributed.
  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll in coconut if using.
  • Chill for 10 minutes to firm up, or enjoy right away. Store chilled in an airtight container.

Notes

Try almond or cashew butter, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder, or swap chocolate chips for dried cranberries. For meal prep, shape and freeze on a sheet tray, then store in a freezer bag up to 2 months; thaw a few minutes before eating.
