Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 tbsp sugar-free jam or freeze-dried berries
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, sugar-free jam, and a pinch of salt. Ensure the mixture is fully combined and sticky enough to hold together.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into uniform 1-inch balls. Aim for about 12 balls total.
- Chill to Set: Place the formed energy balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and hold their shape.
- Store Properly: After chilling, store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can swap peanut butter for almond butter for a different flavor profile or to accommodate allergies.
- Adding a scoop of protein powder to the mixture can increase the protein content for extra nutritional value.
