Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ⅔ cup shredded coconut toasted
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup ground flaxseed flaxseed meal
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chia seeds optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients: oats, toasted coconut, peanut butter, ground flaxseed, chocolate chips, honey, chia seeds (if using), and vanilla.
- Stir vigorously until the mixture is completely combined and uniform.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm (or freeze for 20-30 mins for faster chilling).
- Once chilled, roll the mixture into 1 inch balls.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Toasting Coconut: Highly recommended for best flavor. Toast in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 mins, stirring, until golden.
- Substitutions: Use any nut or seed butter. Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan version.
- Customize: Add dried fruit, seeds, spices, or a scoop of protein powder.
