Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup peanut butter or any nut butter
  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Combine the ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Adjust the consistency:
  • If the mixture feels too dry, add a small splash of water or more nut butter. If it’s too sticky, add a few extra oats.
  • Shape into balls:
  • Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form small balls. Place them on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
  • Chill:
  • Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 20–30 minutes to firm up.
  • Store and enjoy:
  • Transfer the chilled energy balls to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
