Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats or quick oats
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or any nut/seed butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup honey, or agave
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Optional: 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips or raisins

Instructions

  • If your nut butter is thick or stiff, warm it gently until it’s smooth and stirrable.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together oats, chia seeds, and salt.
  • Add in the nut butter and sweetener. Mix until well combined.
  • If adding chocolate chips, wait until the mixture cools slightly so they don’t melt.
  • Scoop and roll into balls using your hands or a mini cookie scoop.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temp for 5–7 days, in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
