Instructions

1. Combine the oats, peanut butter, and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low until the oats are thoroughly covered.
If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a large bowl and spoon. Make sure the oats are completely covered before moving on to the next step.
2. Add the add-ins, ground flax seeds, chocolate chips, and vanilla. Stir very well.
3. Shape into balls (either bite-sized or two-bite-sized) and place on a cookie sheet. (It helps to wet your hands now and then as your rolling the balls so that the dough doesn’t stick to your hands.)
4. Freeze for 1-2 hours. Remove the energy balls from the cookie sheet and store them in a freezer-safe bag.

Notes

  • If you go through one batch recipe power balls quickly, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat them within a week. No need to wait for them to thaw!
  • Can’t have peanut butter? Use a different nut butter (almond butter or cashew butter) or use a nut-free option like sunflower seed butter.
  • To serve, let the energy bite thaw at room temperature for a few minutes. (I like to keep a few energy balls in the fridge so I don’t have to wait when I want a snack!)
  • Don’t have rolled oats? Use instant oats or try my homemade version of instant oat packets.
  • Don’t have flaxseed? Use oat flour instead.
  • If you use natural peanut butter, make sure you stir it REALLY well so that you’re not adding too much oil to the mixture
