Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • cup natural peanut butter (drippy!)
  • ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ¼ cup ground flax
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Melt coconut oil in a large bowl.
  • Stir in the nut butter, maple syrup (or honey) until smooth. Add the oats, chia seeds, ground flax, and mini chocolate chips.
  • Chill mixture for 30 min- 2 hours.
  • Roll into 1 tablespoon balls and store in the fridge for up to 1 week or the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

*Make sure that your nut butter does not have any other ingredients other than nuts (and maybe salt). Processed nut butters which contain palm oil are overly sweet and do not set up as well in this recipe.
 
** Chilling the mixture is essential in preventing stickiness during rolling. If you find that your mixture is too sticky, you can also try wetting your hands slightly before rolling.
 
***Nut allergy- I have had readers successfully make this recipe using sunflower seed butter
