Recipe: Energy Balls Peanut Butter

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Servings: 12 energy balls

Yield: Approximately 12 energy balls (may vary based on size)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or nut butter of your choice)
• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or dried fruit for a healthier twist)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, chia seeds, coconut flakes

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, ground flaxseed, dark chocolate chips, and any optional add-ins you prefer.

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the peanut butter and honey/maple syrup for about 20 seconds until they are easier to mix.

Remove from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Once chilled, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, using your hands.

Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes to firm up.

Once firm, transfer the energy balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator.
