Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp sea salt

Optional: 1/4 cup shredded coconut or chopped nuts for added texture

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

    Add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is combined evenly.

      Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips (and optional coconut or nuts, if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

        Once combined, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up. This step makes it easier to roll the mixture into balls.

          After chilling, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used up.

            Place the energy balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can leave them as is or roll them in some extra shredded coconut or chopped nuts for a decorative touch.

              Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
