Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten free, if needed)
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter of choice)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (can substitute agave nectar or brown rice syrup)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats and ground flaxseed and stir together until evenly combined.
  2. Warm peanut butter and syrup: In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, gently combine the peanut butter and maple syrup. Heat just until warm and the mixture is melted, then whisk together to form a smooth liquid.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the warmed peanut butter and syrup mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly without melting them.
  4. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up, making it easier to shape.
  5. Form balls: Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and scoop out portions to form approximately 20 small balls. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for a convenient ready-to-eat snack.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free oats if you need to keep the recipe gluten free.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or brown rice syrup if preferred.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
  • Store the oatmeal balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
