Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.
  2. Mix well until everything is thoroughly incorporated. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
  3. If the mixture seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water or extra nut butter. If too wet, add a tablespoon of oats.
  4. Roll the mixture into small, one-inch balls.
  5. Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Feel free to add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for a chocolate version.
  • You can substitute sunflower seeds or walnuts for the coconut if you prefer.
  • These are best eaten within one week when stored in the fridge.
