Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ cup ground flaxseed
  • 4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, flaxseed, and honey.
  2. Stir until fully combined and a thick mixture forms.
  3. Adjust consistency by adding more oats if too wet or a small splash of honey if too dry.
  4. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Roll mixture into 18 bite-sized balls.
  6. Store energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Chilling the mixture before rolling helps prevent sticking and ensures perfectly shaped energy balls.
