 Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats

• ½ cup nut butter (almond or peanut)

• ¼ cup honey or maple syrup

• 1 tsp vanilla extract + pinch of salt

• Optional mix-ins:

  • 2 Tbsp ground flax or chia

  • ¼ cup shredded coconut

  • ⅓ cup chocolate chips

  • ¼ cup chopped nuts or dried fruit

 Step-by-Step: 

1. Mix your base — Combine oats, nut butter, sweetener, vanilla, salt, and seeds (if using) in a bowl until thick and sticky.

2. Add texture & flavor — Stir in coconut, nuts, chocolate, or fruit. Customize as you like!

3. Chill to firm up — Pop the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes (skip this and rolling gets messy!) 

4. Roll into bites — Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into neat balls.

5. Final chill & store — Chill again to set. Store in airtight containers for up to a week—or freeze up to 3 months .
