Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
- 1/3 cup honey (113g)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (128g)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or raisins (40g, optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather and measure your ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds (if using), ground cinnamon, salt, and mini chocolate chips or raisins.
- Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mix and stir thoroughly until the mixture starts sticking together.
- Check the texture; if too sticky, add more oats; if too dry, add more peanut butter or honey a teaspoon at a time.
- Roll the mixture into small balls about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, making around 12-15 balls.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing. Roll balls with slightly damp hands to prevent sticking. Store in fridge to maintain firmness. Freeze for longer storage and thaw before eating. Swap peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for allergies. Add protein powder or superfood seeds for nutrition boost.
