- 1 1/3 cups rolled oats (gluten-free or quick-cooking oats if needed)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (or ground flaxseed, optional)
- 1/3-1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or your preferred nut/seed butter)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or your preferred liquid sweetener)
- 3 tablespoons dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)
First, heat the peanut butter using a double boiler or microwave until it softens. If it is already runny, you can skip this step.
In a medium bowl, combine the oats and chia seeds. Add the runny peanut butter, sweetener, and chocolate chips, and mix well.
Place the mixture in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up. This step will make it easier to roll the balls.
Use a small ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to take portions from the mixture and roll them with your hands. You can oil your hands slightly if needed.
You can consume the prepared balls immediately or let them firm up a bit more in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
