Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)

⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

½ cup chia seeds

½ cup mini chocolate chips (or dried fruit for a healthier option)

½ cup ground flaxseeds (optional)

1 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and sticky.

    Add the Extras: Stir in the chia seeds, ground flaxseeds (if using), mini chocolate chips (or dried fruit), and a pinch of sea salt. If the mixture feels too dry, add a bit more nut butter or syrup until it reaches a moldable consistency.

      Form the Balls: Use your hands to scoop out small pieces of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the formed energy balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate.

        Chill: Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to help them set and firm up. This step is essential for perfect texture!

          Enjoy and Store: Once chilled, enjoy your energizing bites right away or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. These make great snacks on-the-go!
