Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients: oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, flaxseed, dried cranberries, vanilla, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the mixture easier to handle.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each).
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips
For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter.
Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber.
If mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water or extra honey.
Roll in shredded coconut or cocoa powder for variety.
