Ingredients:
3 cups quick oats
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup honey
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir together until well combined. You can either stir by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula OR use a handmixer and beat on LOW speed until combined. Increasing speed as needed.
The mixture is thick so it will take a few minutes to fully mix it all together.
Roll into balls. I use a small cookie scoop to get even sized energy balls, which holds about 1 tablespoon of the energy ball dough.
Eat right away or you can refrigerate for a couple of hours if you want to serve them cold. I think they're best tasting when they are cold so I always make them before I need them (like for after school) so they have time to refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
Store leftovers in the fridge, in a covered container, for several days.
Tips & Notes:
Measuring Honey: To make measuring honey easy, spray the measuring cup with cooking spray before adding the honey. When you pour it into the bowl the honey will slide right out!
Peanut Butter: It's best to use regular peanut butter because it has more oil, fat, and it's softer, which will hold together well without drying out the energy ball dough. Lots of people seem to have trouble with this recipe and I can almost guarantee it's because they are using the all-natural peanut butter instead of the regular peanut butter.
Happy Baking!
