Ingredients
- 2.5 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ⅔ cup honey
- 2 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup mini M&Ms (can also use mini chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients but the M&Ms to a large bowl or a stand mixer. Mix together on low speed until everything is well combined.
- Next, fold in the M&Ms using a spoon or spatula until they are evenly distributed.
- If the batter seems too sticky after adding the M&Ms, add a quarter cup more oats. If the batter seems dry and crumbly, add a bit more peanut butter or honey.
- Place the mixture covered in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or so to chill. (This makes scooping a little easier, but you can scoop and shape them right away if you prefer.)
- Once chilled, use a 1.5 Tablespoon scoop and scoop out the mixture. Shape each one into a smooth ball. Store the energy balls in a sealed container at room temperature or in your refrigerator.
Notes
• You can also add other ingredients like chia seeds, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, ground flax seed, vanilla protein powder, etc. Just keep in mind that the texture might change slightly and require additional peanut butter or honey to hold the energy balls together.
