Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • spoon
  • refrigerator
  • small scoop
  • parchment-lined tray

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, mini chocolate chips, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes to help it firm up.
  4. Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  5. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

If the mixture feels too sticky, chill it a little longer before rolling. For a different flavor, swap the mini chocolate chips for dried fruit or use almond butter instead of peanut butter.
