Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter*
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseeds
  • 1/4 cup honey**
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup of chocolate chopped finely (optional)

Instructions
 

  • 1. Put all ingredients into a mixing bowl, and stir well to combine.
  • 2. Scoop balls out with a small ice cream scoop, or use a spoon and roll into balls.
  • 3. Balls will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

*I always use peanut butter that is just peanuts and salt. If you are using unsalted peanut butter, you may want to add an extra pinch to the recipe. I can't vouch for the results if you use a commercial peanut butter that's made with sugar and oil.
**Can substitute equal amounts of maple syrup or agave nectar.
