Ingredients:

  • 90 g old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 14 g ground flax seeds
  • 1.5 g fine sea salt
  • 128 g creamy peanut butter
  • 110 g honey or pure maple syrup
  • 5 ml vanilla extract
  • 60 g mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 10 g shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions:

  1. Combine the rolled oats, ground flax seeds, and sea salt in your medium bowl. Note: Stirring these first ensures the salt is evenly distributed.
  2. Pour in the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms and no dry oat pockets remain.
  3. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and shredded coconut. Note: Do this slowly so you don't smash the chips into the dough.
  4. Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture.
  5. Roll the dough between your palms until it forms a smooth, tight sphere.
  6. Place each ball onto your parchment lined sheet, leaving a bit of space between them.
  7. Transfer the sheet to the refrigerator.
  8. Chill for at least 30 minutes until the bites feel firm to the touch.
  9. Remove from the fridge and store in an airtight container.
