Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats or quick oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or allergy-friendly substitute)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey/agave)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Optional: mini chocolate chips or raisins

Instructions

  • If your nut butter is too firm, warm it gently in the microwave or on the stove until it's easy to stir.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and salt.
  • Stir in the nut butter and sweetener until everything is well mixed.
  • Add chocolate chips or raisins if using, and stir again.
  • Roll the mixture into balls or press it into cookie shapes.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, in the fridge for up to three weeks, or freeze for up to four months.

Notes

  • For variations, try adding different flavors such as chocolate chip, banana bread, pecan pie, or coconut.
  • These energy balls can be stored for extended periods and require no reheating; enjoy them straight from the fridge or freezer.
