Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls (Printable Version)

Chewy oats and peanut butter balls mixed with chocolate and chia seeds.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 cup rolled oats

02 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

03 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

04 - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

05 - 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

06 - 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup

07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

08 - 1 pinch sea salt

01 - In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and mini chocolate chips.

02 - In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.

03 - Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until well combined and the mixture holds together.

04 - Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion and roll the dough into 1-inch balls.

05 - Place the energy balls on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

01 -

They're ready in 15 minutes with zero baking required—just mix, roll, and chill.
Packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber so you actually stay satisfied between meals.
Taste indulgent enough to feel like dessert but wholesome enough to eat for breakfast without guilt.

02 -

Don't skip the chilling step—energy balls that haven't been refrigerated will crumble apart as soon as you bite into them, and that's disappointing.
If your mixture feels too dry and won't hold together, add honey one teaspoon at a time until it's tacky enough to shape.

03 -

If the mixture sticks to your hands while rolling, lightly wet your palms with cool water—it helps the dough slide off without losing its shape.
Make these the night before you need them and they're somehow even better the next day, as all the flavors have time to meld together.
