  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the base: Toss 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal into your large bowl. Note: Mixing the dry stuff first prevents clumps of flax later.

  5. Incorporate the texture: Fold in 1/2 cup semi sweet mini chocolate chips.

  7. Port the dough: Use a spoon or scoop to grab about 2 tablespoons of dough.
  8. Roll into spheres: Roll the dough between your palms until it forms a smooth, velvety ball.
  9. Final set: Place the finished no bake peanut butter energy balls with oats on a parchment lined plate.
  10. Store properly: Transfer to a container and keep them chilled for the best bite.
