Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup natural nut butter (e.g., almond or peanut butter)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds) for extra crunch

Instructions
 

Mix All Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), ground flaxseed, chocolate chips, dried fruit, vanilla extract, and sea salt. If you’re including chopped nuts, add them now.

    Combine Until Uniform: Using a spatula or your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined and stick together. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or additional nut butter to achieve the right consistency.

      Chill the Mixture: Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This helps the mixture become firmer, making it easier to roll.

        Form the Balls: After chilling, use your hands to scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Continue this process until all the mixture is formed into balls.

          Store Your Energy Balls: Place the energy balls in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months.

            Enjoy Anytime: Grab them as a quick snack, a pre-workout boost, or a sweet treat!
