• Prep time: 15 minutes
• Chill time: 30 minutes

• 150g rolled oats
• 60g smooth peanut butter or almond butter
• 60ml honey
• 50g dark chocolate chips
• 30g chia seeds
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 30g shredded coconut (optional)
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)

Mix Ingredients:

• In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and dark chocolate chips.
• In a separate smaller bowl, mix the peanut butter (or almond butter), honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine:

• Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is fully combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more honey or a splash of milk.

Shape:

• Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands. Each ball should be about 2.5 cm in diameter.

Chill:

• Place the energy balls on a tray lined with baking paper. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Optional Coating:

• For extra flavour and texture, roll the balls in shredded coconut or cocoa powder before chilling.

Enjoy:

• Once firm, your energy balls are ready to eat. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
