Ingredients

1 cup
natural creamy peanut butter

(or almond butter)
3 tbsp
tablespoons honey

(or maple syrup)
1 tsp
vanilla extract
3/4 cup
oats, divided
1/4 cup
dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup
walnuts, chopped
1 tbsp
chia seeds
1/8 tsp Himalayan pink salt

Instructions

Place a piece of parchment paper on a large plate and set aside.
Place ½ cup of the oats in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a flour-like consistency.
Add oat flour and all remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir until combined. Note: if your peanut butter is not a runny consistency, place it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Scoop the batter using a tablespoon and use clean hands to roll into balls. Place balls on prepared plate. Once batter is used up, place balls in the freezer to firm up. Enjoy chilled.
