Instructions

  • Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients. Start by collecting all your ingredients. Having everything in place will make the process much smoother.
  • Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, crushed almonds, ground flax seed, and sunflower seeds. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
  • Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients. To the dry mixture, add the creamy peanut butter and pure maple syrup. Use a spatula or spoon to mix everything together until the ingredients are fully combined.
  • Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate Chips. Carefully fold in the vegan chocolate chips. This step adds a delightful sweetness and chocolatey flavor to your oat balls. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Step 5: Form the Oat Balls. Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about one inch in diameter. You can make them larger or smaller depending on your preference.
  • Step 6: Chill in the Fridge. Place the rolled oat balls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps them firm up and makes them easier to eat.
  • Step 7: Enjoy! Once chilled, your Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Balls are ready to enjoy. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for a quick snack anytime you need a boost.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider mixing in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • You can freeze the oat balls for longer storage, lasting several months.
  • Try rolling them in shredded coconut for a fun twist!
