Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips I used Enjoy Life brand
- ¼ cup chopped nuts I used walnuts
- 2 tablespoon mix-in's chia seeds, ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, etc.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl: oats, mix-ins, PB, honey, nuts, vanilla extract, salt, and chocolate chips.
- Stir until combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more peanut butter. If it's too wet, add a little more oats. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes. This will make the balls easier to roll.
- Once the mixture is chilled, roll into 1-inch balls. I used a cookie scoop, but a good rule of thumb is about 2 tbsp. per ball.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Storage Instructions: Keep refrigerated up to 1-2 weeks. They will start to dry out after awhile.
*After rolling, I prefer to chill these an additional 2 hours to overnight before eating. The moisture from the honey and peanut butter will absorb into the oats, making them nice and soft. Eaten immediately, the oats will have a slight bite.
