Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or dried fruit for a healthier option)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon or a pinch of sea salt for topping

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, salt, and optional cinnamon. Stir until well combined.

    Stir in Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together until a sticky dough forms. If it feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon of water.

      Mix in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips or dried fruit, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

        Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to roll into balls.

          Form the Energy Balls: Once chilled, remove the dough from the fridge. Use your hands to scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.

            Storage: Place the energy balls in an airtight container. You can store them in the refrigerator for a week or freeze them for up to 3 months.
