Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and salt.
  2. Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined and form a sticky dough.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips if using.
  5. Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Place the energy balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
  7. Refrigerate the energy balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  8. Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter and maple syrup for honey. Add other mix-ins like dried fruit or nuts for variety.
