Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135 g)
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter (180 ml)
  • ¼ cup honey (85 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional)
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (45 g, optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 ½ cups (135 g) of old-fashioned rolled oats into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add ¾ cup (180 ml) creamy peanut butter and ¼ cup (85 g) honey. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is sticky and well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Add more honey or peanut butter if too dry.
  3. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed evenly.
  4. Fold in ¼ cup (45 g) mini chocolate chips and a pinch of sea salt if using.
  5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the mixture and roll into balls. Place on wax or parchment paper.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes to set.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

If peanut butter is too stiff, warm slightly in microwave for 10-15 seconds. Pulse oats in a food processor for finer texture if desired but avoid powdery consistency. Add more honey or peanut butter if mixture is crumbly. Refrigerate before serving to firm up. Use creamy natural peanut butter for best texture and flavor. Variations include adding cocoa powder, dried fruits, cinnamon, or protein powder.
