Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 2/3 cup toasted shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Stir everything together. Stir all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
2. Chill. Cover the mixing bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is chilled. (This will help the mixture stick together more easily.)
3. Roll into balls. Roll into mixture into 1-inch balls.
4. Serve. Then enjoy immediately! Or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

The prep time listed does not include time for the mixture to chill. To speed up the chilling, I recommend spreading the mixture out on a small baking sheet and popping it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until the mixture is cool.

ANTHOLOGY NOTES: our house likes to omit the shredded coconut and sometimes opt for maple syrup instead of honey.
