Ingredients
- 1 cup dry oats (old fashioned, instant, or a mix of the two)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- dash of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla optional
Instructions
Add the nut butter and honey and stir to combine well. Add the all of the other ingredients and stir to combine well.
Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes.
Use a spoon to scoop about a tablespoon of the cookie ball mixture into your hand. Roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture. This should make about 12 oatmeal energy balls.
Store the balls covered in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for much longer.
I got this recipe from a family member who brought this treat to my daughter to have on hand and enjoy after the birth of her baby. She said that she switched out the 1/4 cup peanut butter with 1/4 cup of almond butter.
