Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 1/3 cup ground flax seeds
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- Pinch of sea salt to taste
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup nut butter (almond or natural peanut butter)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Preparation
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
Add wet ingredients and mix well. (The final mixture will look wet.)
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 5 to 10 minutes. This gives the mixture time to set, allowing the ingredients to adhere and making the balls easier to roll.
With your hands, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place in a sealed container, storing them in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. They can also be frozen.

Notes
The size of your energy balls is simply up to you! A tablespoon per ball should give you the perfect “bite-sized” piece.
If the chocolate chips don’t work for you, you could substitute with endless options. Raisins, dried cranberries, chopped dates and walnuts are just a few alternative choices.
