$To make Peanut Butter Energy Balls, you need: - 1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) - 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup - 1 cup rolled oats - 1/2 cup ground flaxseed - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips) - 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - A pinch of sea salt Using high-quality ingredients makes these energy balls taste amazing. I prefer natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils. Honey or maple syrup should be pure, not mixed with other sweeteners. Rolled oats need to be whole and not instant for the best texture. Ground flaxseed should be fresh to give you maximum nutrition and flavor. When it comes to chocolate chips, choose dark chocolate for a richer taste. Always check for unsweetened coconut to keep the sweetness in check. If you have allergies or dietary needs, you can swap ingredients easily. For nut allergies, try sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter instead of peanut butter. Use agave syrup or brown rice syrup as a sweetener if you're vegan. You can replace ground flaxseed with chia seeds for a similar texture and health benefits. If you want a nut-free option, skip the chocolate chips or use carob chips. These swaps keep the energy balls delicious while meeting your needs. For the full recipe, check out the detailed instructions above. Start by gathering all your ingredients.
