Ingredients
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup nut/seed butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (dairy-free or raw cacao nibs)
Instructions
Combine ground flaxseed, rolled oats, and chocolate chips in a medium bowl.
Whisk nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Add 1-2 tbsp more nut butter if the mixture is too crumbly.
Form the mixture into 1-inch balls using clean hands or a cookie scoop.
Notes
Toast oats in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes for extra crunch
Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option
Replace chocolate chips with cacao nibs for a richer, antioxidant-packed flavor
Store in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for 2 months to preserve freshness
