Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality, natural peanut butter, oats, honey or maple syrup, and chia seeds. Feel free to add mix-ins like dark chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Pay attention to the consistency: The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape when rolled into balls, but not too dry or crumbly. If it's too dry, add a little more honey or maple syrup. If it's too wet, add more oats or chia seeds.
- Chill the energy balls before serving: This will help them set and firm up. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Enjoy energy balls as a quick and healthy snack, pre- or post-workout boost, or on-the-go breakfast or lunch.
