Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and ⅓ cup of honey. Mix until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of rolled oats, ¼ cup of ground flax seeds, and ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Combine for about 3 minutes.
  3. Take a small amount of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and roll into a ball about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  5. Check the texture. If too soft or sticky, add more ground flax seeds or oats, mix again, and reshape.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
