- 1/4 cup honey (85g)
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (60g)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (14g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
- Add 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Fold together until fully combined and slightly sticky.
- Gently fold in 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips, distributing evenly without overmixing.
- Portion out about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls. Place on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Makes about 20 balls.

- Enjoy chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
If the mixture is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes before rolling. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water or extra honey. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Chilling overnight improves flavor and texture. Slightly wet hands before rolling to prevent sticking.
