Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• ⅓ cup honey
• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
• ¼ cup mini M&Ms (or regular, chopped)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: 1–2 tbsp flaxseed meal or chia seeds for extra nutrition

Instructions

1. Mix the Wet Ingredients
   In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients
   Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, M&Ms, and any optional add-ins like flax or chia. Mix until fully combined — it should form a thick, sticky dough.
3. Roll into Balls
   Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. You should get about 18–20 energy bites.
4. Chill
   Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Tips & Variations

• Swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter for allergy-friendly versions.
• Stir in chopped pretzels or coconut flakes for added crunch.
• Press extra M&Ms on top for that picture-perfect look!

Storage

Keep these energy balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. They’re also great for freezing — just thaw for a few minutes before enjoying!
