Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- In a large bowl mix the oats, flaxseed, chocolate chips and salt.
- Add the peanut butter, honey and vanilla and work together thoroughly with a wooden spoon or your hands.
- If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add a little water or milk; if too sticky, a little more oats.
- Chill the bowl for 20-30 minutes so the mixture firms up and is easier to shape.
- With damp hands shape about 20 walnut-sized balls.
- Store in a sealed container in the fridge for 1 week, or in the freezer for 2 months.

Tips
- Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar; the sweetened kind makes them too sweet.
- The texture before chilling is what matters: the mixture should be sticky but not wet.
- You can flavour them with cocoa powder, coconut, dried fruit or chocolate.
- Instead of honey, date paste or maple syrup is also fine.
Frequently asked questions
I'm allergic to peanuts. What can I use?
Sunflower seed butter, almond butter or cashew butter works the same way.
