Energy Balls (Granola Balls)
Thanks to Katherine for introducing these into my life.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ⅔ cup toasted shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup ground flaxseed
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
- Stir everything together. Stir all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- 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.)
- Roll into balls. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Serve. Or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
From the margins
- To speed up the chilling, spread the mixture out on a small baking sheet and pop it in the freezer for 20–30 minutes until cool.
