Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseeds
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or agave
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
  • Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. This makes rolling the balls easier.
  • Once chilled, roll into 1 inch balls. If it's too sticky, get your hands slightly damp every so often.
  • Store in the refrigerator for 1 week, or freeze them for longer.

Notes

  1. May use a combination of flax and chia seeds, or even hemp seeds if you want.
  2. Use almond butter instead of peanut for a different variation, or sunflower seed butter for nut allergy.
