Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Peanut butter oatmeal energy balls
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.125 salt

Method
 

Combine the mixture
  1. Stir together the rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until fully combined.
  2. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Chill
  1. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes so it firms up and is easier to handle.
Roll
  1. Roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls using slightly damp hands.
Store
  1. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

Pro tip: wet your hands slightly before rolling so the mixture doesn’t stick. Store energy balls in the refrigerator for up to 7 days in an airtight container; freeze for up to 3 months. For a dietary swap, use maple syrup instead of honey for a similar sweet binder.
