Recipe type: Breakfast, Snack, Dessert
Serves: 10-14
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats, raw
  • ¼ cup Bob's Red Mill raw whole flaxseed or ground golden flax seed
  • 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¼ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup mini or regular butterscotch chips
  • ⅔ cup sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup honey or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon good quality vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine together oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  2. In a small microwave safe dish, put the peanut butter in it.
  3. Heat on high for 10 to 15 seconds to melt the peanut butter. FAB TIP: I like to heat up the peanut butter slightly to loosen it up and makes it easier to incorporate with the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Add the honey and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour this mixture over the oat-flax-chia mix.
  6. Use a rubber scraper to combine. FAB TIP: I find that using my hands works best to evenly combine everything.
  7. Use your hands to roll them into tightly packed balls that is around 1" in diameter. (It makes around 12-14 balls) FAB TIP: Wash your hands and don't dry them off. The wetness helps it from not sticking to your hands.
  8. Lay it onto a parchment lined sheet pan.
  9. Let it set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  10. Store in an airtight container and keep it refrigerated until ready to eat.
