1/3 cup Honey Substitution: Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan alternative.

For the Mix-Ins

1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Feel free to use dark chocolate for a richer flavor.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of old fashioned oats, 1/2 cup of ground flax seeds, and 1/3 cup of honey. Mix until fully combined.
Stir in 1/2 cup of your chosen mix-ins until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to firm up the mixture.
Lightly dampen your hands and take about a tablespoon of the mixture to roll into a ball, making about 12 uniform bites.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
