Directions
- Step 1: Combine the Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, raisins, chopped pecans, cinnamon, ground flaxseed, and chia seeds. Stir them together until well mixed.
- Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients - Next, add in the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Ensure that all the wet ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
- Step 3: Mix Until Combined - Using a spoon or spatula, mix everything together until you have a thick, sticky mixture. It’s okay if it feels a little crumbly; it will hold together when you roll it into balls.
- Step 4: Form the Energy Balls - With clean hands, take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is formed into energy balls. You should have about 15-20 energy balls, depending on the size you make them.
- Step 5: Chill and Set - Place the energy balls on a cookie sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and make them easier to handle.
Notes
- Store energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- They can be frozen for up to three months; separate with parchment paper.
- Feel free to customize with different nuts or sweeteners!
