Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds if using, and salt.
  2. Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and a thick dough forms.
  3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes to make it easier to roll.
  5. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls with your hands.

  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more honey or nut butter. If it feels too sticky, add a small amount of oats. You can also swap the chocolate chips for dried fruit or chopped nuts.
