Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup honey

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir together until well combined. You can either stir by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula OR use a handmixer and beat on LOW speed until combined. Increasing speed as needed.
  2. The mixture is thick so it will take a few minutes to fully mix it all together.
  3. Roll into balls using a small cookie scoop to get even sized energy balls, about 1 tablespoon each.
  4. If the mixture is difficult to roll, press dough between fingers to warm and loosen, then roll into balls.
  5. If too sticky, refrigerate for 20 minutes to help firm up.
  6. Eat right away or refrigerate for 2-3 hours to serve cold, which enhances flavor.
  7. Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for several days.

Notes

  • To easily measure honey, spray the measuring cup with cooking spray before adding honey to help it slide out.
  • Use regular creamy peanut butter (not natural) as it has more oil and softness, helping the balls hold together better.
  • These energy balls are best served chilled but are convenient as a quick no-bake snack anytime.
