Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats divided
- 1/4 cup flax seeds any variety
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened, raw or regular
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/3 cup honey raw or regular, optional real maple syrup
- 1/2 cup peanut butter natural and creamy, store bought or homemade
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grind a half cup of oats and all the flax seeds in the blender/food processor until they form a powder.
- Add the ground oats and flax seeds to a large bowl. Add remaining cup of rolled oats, cocoa powder, salt, and chia seeds. Mix to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, stir together the honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until combined. Add to the large bowl of dry ingredients and stir well to combine. Hands may be used to combine as mixture is very thick. Roll into one-inch sized balls. Should make about 20 balls. Note that wetting hands with water or coating in coconut or canola oil helps to keep the mixture from sticking to hands when forming the balls.
- Keep in the fridge for 4 to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
- Enjoy!
Notes
If the dough is too sticky, grind additional oats and add. If the dough is too dry, add a touch more peanut butter.
