Chilling the mixture for 20-30 minutes before rolling makes a big difference — it firms up the nut butter so the mixture holds together instead of sticking to your hands.
Instructions:
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the oats, nut butter, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt until well combined and slightly sticky.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm up, making the mixture easier to roll.
- Roll into Balls: Once chilled, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands, wetting them slightly if the mixture sticks.
- Arrange: Place the balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until firm, before serving.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tip: If the mixture is too sticky to roll, chill it a bit longer; if it's too dry and crumbly, mix in a little more nut butter or maple syrup.
Swap: Swap chocolate chips for raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts, and try sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
Nut butter and maple syrup work together as the binder that holds the oats together without any baking. Ground flaxseed adds a boost of fiber and nutrition while also helping the mixture hold its shape once chilled.
