Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey, or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp water, as needed
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients, minus the crushed pecans, into a food processor and process until thoroughly mixed and thickened. 2-3 minutes.
  • Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to thicken, if needed to thicken.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, roll out 15-16 balls. Squeeze firmly together, if needed, and roll tightly.
  • Add the mini chocolate chips to a place and gently, but firmly press each ball into the chips, coating the outside of each one. Re-roll, if needed
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Or into a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 1 month.

Notes

 

HELPFUL TIPS

  1. Using a cookie scoop truly helps to not only roll these balls, but also to get even portions.
  2. These are freezer-friendly. Store in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Fridge - up to 1 week.
  3. Parchment paper is great for separating these if you need to stack them in a small container.
  4. If the mixture seems dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or peanut butter. If it seems to be too dry, add a little extra oatmeal. The balls should be firm and chewy, as well as a little sticky.
  5. These bites tend to be sticky, so placing them in the fridge helps to firm them up a bit, making rolling easier.
