A nutritious snack packed with protein-rich ingredients, perfect for a quick energy boost.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup nut butter (peanut or almond)
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
¼ cup chocolate chips or dried fruit
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, nut butter, honey, chocolate chips, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula for mixing to ensure that the nut butter incorporates well.
Mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky mixture that holds together. The consistency should be moist but not overly wet.
Use your hands to form the mixture into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Make sure to compress the mixture tightly to prevent them from falling apart.
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up before serving, making them easier to handle.
