Instructions

  1. Stir the oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, chia seeds, vanilla and salt together until evenly combined.

  2. Chill the mixture for 20 minutes so it’s easier to shape.

  3. Roll into 20 balls about 1-inch across, squeezing firmly so they hold together, and set them on the lined tray.Roll into 20 balls about 2.5 cm across, squeezing firmly so they hold together, and set them on the lined tray.

  4. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

Notes

  • If the mix is too dry to hold together, add a spoonful more peanut butter; if too sticky, a few more oats.
  • Keeps a week in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version, with dairy-free chocolate chips.
