Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional but encouraged!)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Mix It Up
- In a large bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, coconut, vanilla, and salt. Mix until well combined. Add chocolate chips last so they don’t melt.
Step 2: Roll It Out
- Use a tablespoon to scoop and roll into bite-sized balls.
Step 3: Chill
- Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
Notes
- Nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- Vegan: Swap honey for maple syrup and choose vegan chocolate chips.
- Protein boost: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- Flavor twist: Try cinnamon, cocoa powder, or dried fruit like cranberries or apricots.
- Crunch factor: Toss in chopped almonds, walnuts, or puffed rice.
