No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Energy Balls

These are the lunch bag hero you didn't know you needed. They come together in ten minutes, last all week in the fridge, and they're filling enough that kids aren't starving the second they get off the bus. Throw in some mini chocolate chips and they'll think they're getting dessert.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Combine oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, flaxseed, and vanilla in a large bowl and stir until fully mixed.
  2. Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes so it firms up and is easier to roll.
  3. Roll into 1-inch balls using your hands and place on a parchment-lined sheet.
  4. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes until set, then store in an airtight container up to one week.
