    Prep

    Chill the mixture the full 15-20 minutes before rolling — this firms up the peanut butter and maple syrup enough that the balls hold their shape instead of sticking to your hands.

    Instructions:

    1. Combine: Combine the oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl.
    2. Mix: Mix well until fully combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
    3. Chill: Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up slightly.
    4. Roll into Balls: Roll into 1-inch balls using your hands.
    5. Store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
